Oh REALLY????
merry christmas and best wishes everyone...

You could give me an even better holiday by helping me out! I bought the waveterminal U2A second hand last week, i want to use it's digital in to record the tracks in S/PDIF format from my DR-8 akai hdr. Now first off, when i select the digital in clock (i assume that is the clock of the HDR) i cannot record at all. This was mentioned ONLY in the manual i got with the card , i read on prorec.com it should be able to record that too...

Now more disturbingly; all went fine as long as i used the internal clock, i could record in dig format and it sounded pretty good. However, after about 15 minutes of fiddling around with controls my dig (coaxial) output from the dr-8 starts crackling and popping like a maniac, regardless of input levels or even audio playing. When i do play audio, it's very faint and distorted in the back and teh noise is still on the foreground (from -6dB to +0). When i pull the dig outputplugs on the dr-8 out i again get silence..

I'm confused. Remember it worked 15 minutes ago... Is there some "I'm an idiot -button" that i pressed? Did that mofo hdr go bad on me when using the dig outs the very first time???!!!???

PLease help. I know this is alot to read ... i'm sorry.
