Yup. I got the same issue, both from M8H and M8F:



I'm using SteelSeries Wireless H.

I have the same issue, using logitech z906 with optical cable and I'm getting the same error.

In short: this is unfortunately normal - by design of Asus.

I found an older post some time ago with the same question. An Asus employee said that their sound technicians disabled Sonic Studio for S/PDIF.
The reasoning was that people that use S/PDIF typically use a home theater system with effects on its own and that they want/need a pure signal
coming from S/PDIF.

Obviously It would be best to give the user the choice, but I doubt they will ever change it.
