Yes. If you're not sure how to do that I'm guessing that's your problem.

Been a while since I've had a mix system, but I believe you need to go to setups -> playback engine. There should be menus where you select the cards and the type of interface attached to them.

Each card has an A and a B port, if you are using a Y cable, you'd use both the A and B ports of that card. If not, you would only use the A port of each card that had a connected interface.

So your setup could either be:

Mix card 1 - interface port A - 888/24 #1
Mix card 1 - interface port B - 888/24 #2
Mix card 2 - interface port A - 888/24 #3
Mix card 2 - interface port B - no interface
Mix card 3 - interface port A - no interface
Mix card 3 - interface port B - no interface

... Where you had a Y cable on the first mix card....

OR...

Mix card 1 - interface port A - 888/24 #1
Mix card 1 - interface port B - no interface
Mix card 2 - interface port A - 888/24 #2
Mix card 2 - interface port B - no interface
Mix card 3 - interface port A - 888/24 #3
Mix card 3 - interface port B - no interface

Where you had each 888 connected to a separate mix card.

Either way, you need to tell pro tools how it's hooked up via the playback engine dialogue.

You may also need to go to i/o setup and click on "default" to make the correct i/o paths show up as available inputs and outputs in pro tools.
