Hello,
Unfortunately you found the same issue I did with the same result - a number of folks tell you N will allow you to select the playback engine but it does not under the following circumstances-
- HDX card installed
- no digilink audio interface attached
It will function as expected with a digilink interface attached.
It doesn’t matter when you press N, how long, and how enthusiastically, nor with what keyboard. Under my usual premise of “it’s probably my problem” I certainly hope someone can prove me incorrect.

As far as I know a bug. It’s unfortunate because I want to do the same thing you mentioned- pull a system out of service, run tests and maintenance, without a digilink interface.
