What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Diamond XS71 sound card on Windows XP Pro SP2 system
2. Install CMI8738/8768 driver 
3. Using CMI8738/8768 control panel, enable S/PDIF-in recording
4. Disable Dolby formats on Formats tab of control panel. 
4. Connect S/PDIF input on sound card to S/PDIF output on DAT player
5. Play tape on DAT player
6. Record using Windows Sound Recorder (also tried Goldwave)
7. Stop recording. Play back recording

Expected output is a bit-perfect copy of what was on the DAT tape.

Actual output is a high pitched version, as if the output is being played
back at double speed.

version of the operationg system are you using (32 or 64 bit)?
Driver version: 1.1.9
O/S: Windows XP Pro SP2 32-bit

I was answering your mail, but discussing the topic here makes more sense 
because 
it's public for anyone to read.

Have you tried ticking / unticking the boxes in the second tab of 
cmicontrol.exe? 
Often, the "invert phase" box needs to be checked.

I tried unticking and reticking "Enable S/PDIF-out" and "Enable S/PDIF-in 
recording".
I recorded another sample from DAT using Windows Sound Recorder. Then I played 
it
back using Windows Sound Recorder. This caused loud noise to be played. Then I 
tried
the same experiment ticking "Invert phase". This caused a somewhat less loud 
noise to
be played.

Here are my settings:
Analog tab: Enable PCM DAC, Don't route, Don't route, Stereo (2.0).
Digital tab: Enable S/PDIF-out, Enable S/PDIF-in recording.
Formats: All sampling rates for PCM and Multi-channel PCM.

The recording application shouldn't matter, so it might be a good idea to use 
something better, e.g. Audacity. 
The underlying problem is that the hardware is badly documented and that it's 
somewhat a matter of toggeling the right knobs. If you can't find a 
combination, 
then I suggest you try the official drivers.
