Garageband optical audio

Using optical audio input on Macbookpro 15" and Edirol m10dx, but when I open garage band and arm the tracks it arms for .5 seconds ... then disarms.
Other programs -Reaper, AudioHijackpro, Audacity all recognize the optical audio fine. Any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks MetaFilter.

Is it possible that you have some other app, say like Airfoil, camping on the soundcard? Shutting off the arming sounds to me like a classic "device in use" problem.

hippybear: arming a track is what you do to prepare and mark it for recording (ie. when you have multiple tracks, and will want to record to some set of them, while playing back others).

How old is your computer? If it's still under AppleCare warranty, you should be able to call them and get them to help you with this. GarageBand is, after all, an Apple product.

I'm not sure what you mean by "arming" a track, however. Does that mean, recording a track?
