Farce of Nature
I just purchased an RME Digi9636 which has ADAT lightpipe capability. I was able to send 8 ADAT tracks to the pc with no problems. However, I can't seem to do the reverse: digitally transfer the same audio from the pc to the ADAT XT. I select the device in the software to output the signal, connect the optical cable, switch the input on the ADAT to "digital", enable the tracks and nothing happens. I looked in Device Manager and the card shows it is operating ok.
My only guess in pouring through the manuals is the possibility that the ADAT is looking for a clock to sync to. Is this correct? Do I need to connect the 9 pin D type connector to the ADAT and the sync output on the Digi9636?
If so, then that creates another problem: Both the audio card and the ADAT require a male 9 pin D type cable, and RME supplied me with a cable that is female on one end and male on the other. Will any male to male connector work?
Thanks in advance,
Cy
