Problem with Toslink connection from Airport Express to Receiver

[rjpwp001]

I have a Rotel RSX-1055 receiver. I recently bought a toslink/mini toslink cable to connect my Apple Airport Express to the Optical 2 input. The receiver seems to be getting a signal - 44.1 khz scrolls across the display when I play a song- but I'm getting no audio.

I'm streaming VBR MP3 files converted from CDs using LAME on a high quality setting. I can't seem to find any reason why this isn't working.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You may need to configure it in iTunes. Per Apple:

Open iTunes on your computer and choose your stereo or speakers from the speakers pop-up menu in the lower right of the iTunes window.

Wireless computers within range of AirPort Express can wirelessly stream music
to it using iTunes 4.6 or later. Only one computer at a time can stream music to
AirPort Express.

Thanks. Actually, I've been streaming via an analog connection (mini plug/RCA) for a while now. I wanted to go pure digital into the receiver, and as I mentioned above, the receiver appears to be detecting a digital signal, but I'm getting total silence. Very odd.

I think I figured the problem out. The issue may have been caused by using the iTunes equalizer and Sound Ehnancer. When I disabled these options the audio started working. I'm not absolutely sure this was the cause of the problem, but things are working now.
