Presonus Firepod + Lexicon PCM80 via SPDIF - no return input

Here's my setup:
OS X Lion 10.7.5
Pro Tools 10.3.2
Presonus Firepod(FP10)
Lexicon PCM80

I connected Firepod and PCM80 with SPDIF cables, set SEND A on my vocal channel to Outpot 9-10, and set input on my aux track to Input 9-10. When I play the vocal track I see the signal LED on the PCM80 on, but I don't get anything back on my return track.The aux track is solo safe and I don't find anything wrong with my setup... Is there anything I might have done wrong or overlooked, or is there a setting in PCM80 for digital output?

(Easiest solution would be to use analog connection, but I want to minimize the A/D/A conversion...)

Could be a clock issue...do you have the manual? You should be able to find a PDF online if you don't.

Agreed, sounds like you've got a sample rate and/or clock mismatch. One needs to be the master and the other the slave and the slave needs to be EXTernal clocked.
