Default M-Audio

Thanks for the input - yes I do realise there's an 'in' and and 'out'.
I bought a D/A Convertor and it works fine, allowing me to access an extra stereo pair (or two mono ins). I'm using 75 Ohm digital cable. I don't use the S/PDIF out at all.
I can see both the analogue (Delta Line 1&2) and the digital (stereo S/PDIF) responding in the M-Audio mixer and in Windows but Reaper will only recognise the analogue pair.
I've since been told that Reaper will only recognise one interface at a time and that it probably sees this as two interfaces, however that does not explain why Reaper does not even 'see' the SP/DIF when everything else does.
I wanted to use the S/PDIF (Coax Digital) as an extra pair of inputs so that I could record FOUR simultaneously instead of the present two. But it looks like I'll have to bin the 2496 and buy a USB interface with 4 or more inputs.
