My 8th 192 IO doesn't have analog outputs?
 

Hey guys,
Can anyone give me some advice? I've been working my way into more of a hardware insert situation since 2016. I just added two more 192 IO's today which brings me to a total of 8 or 64 Hardware inserts. However, I'm only able to get 56 analog inserts because my 8th 192 does't show Analog outs available, only digital outputs?
My Setup;
Mac OSX 10.8.5, Pro Tools HD 10.3.8, Magma PCIe64 Chassis, HD6 Accel TDM,
Eight 192 IO's. Playback Engines is at 128 voices 4DSP. I've tried it with the max at 192 Voices and 6 DSP but still the same results. Please help if you have any ideas. I've exhausted all of my in IO Setup and Hardware Setup.

Thanks in advance!
Randy

What exact version of 192 is this newest one? If its a 192 Digital(says "Digital" on the front), then it can't use analog cards. Having said that, you still can get analog IO by adding(assuming 44.1 or 48K) something like the Behringer ADA8200. With 2 Lightpipe "cables", you would have 8 analog IO from the ADA8200(with a 192 Digital, you do use 2 boxes for a total of 16).

It seems to me that you may be going the long way around on this as I have 64 IO with 4 units here with 2x HD IO and 2x192 IO boxes(each box is capable of 16 IO total). How much outboard gear are you trying to connect? I run 32 mic preamps, 16 outputs(main and headphone feeds) and have 8 analog inserts available for mixing with analog hardware:-)
