computer not sending signal to usb/spdif converter

Purchased usb/spdif interface from Mapleshade Audio. Downloaded "hiface" driver from M2Tech. My computer is a Mac 10.5.8 so I downloaded 10.5 version. I changed the output in Midi to "hiface", but no usb outputs are sending a signal to my dac. Confused, I downloaded the newer 10.6 driver and now it's even worse. I can't even choose the "hiface" usb output. It only lets me have "built in" optical. I contacted M2Tech twice....nothing.

What am I doing wrong?

You must use the correct OS driver. You must also install it correctly. First run the dmg file, which will unzip and execute creating a container. Then execute the container. It will ask for your computer password. When its done, then plug the USB cable. Then select the device in system preferences - audio/sound. Then if you are playing from iTunes, make sure that the sample-rate matches the rate in utilities - audio MIDI.
