dac dspic

I am having some difficulty with this circuit.

My input is an iPod who's signal centers around 0V and swings +/-1V.

The ADC, in this example, is set to 12-bit processing. According to the transfer function and when Vref+ - Vref- = 3.3V, the theoretical ranges for conversion are:
0V - bottom
1.65V - midpoint
3.3V - max

My op amp circuit has been verified to give me a signal that operates in that range.

Now, when I load the chip with this signal, I get crickets out of the DAC. Nothing. No signals at all. I realize it is a differential output and, with a scope, I see nothing and with a differential->single-ended op amp circuit, I also get nothing.

I don't understand. My signal should be in range. My code should work correctly. Therefore, my DAC should output something. Right?

Any suggestions? Here is my schematic:

THANKS!
