Thanks guys, I've also thought the master was driving it high but failed to find out why. Since you need more code (I thought you might but since I can't find the bug I was unsure what to post and didn't want to upload all of it for fear of bloating the post) I'll try to clean it up a little in the near future.
I found some more demos from Altera that look like they're made specifically for the audio chip and D5M camera and are also usable so I'm going to test them first. If they work I'll go back to debugging my core since I'd like a generalized version. Thanks for the input I'll get you some more information.
Also, I do have an oscilloscope and I'll take some readings with that as well. Thanks!
