   - Modified the Audio output to use S/PDIF:
     - Utilities / Setup -> Setup -> General -> Page 4  **NOTE**  Anything but default / stereo breaks the SPDIF output... don't touch this
+      - Did set the audio outputs to 100% on both Master and PCM
       - <del>Speaker Configuration from **Stereo** to **5.1**</del>  NOTE:  This seems to BREAK my audio now?!  If I leave it stereo it works.
