PT9 with RME

[CamM]

Hey all,

Has anyone tried and succeeded in getting audio out of the s/pdif out on an RME (in this case the RayDat) card?

I can't get to the bottom of it. The ADAT i/o works perfectly, but the s/pdif does nothing (running into a presonus central station). I know the output works, as another daw I have installed on the same system can utilise the lot.

I thought it might've been the 32 i/o limit of pro tools 9, but deleting the rest of the inputs/outputs, and having only the s/pdif i/o available still doesn't work.

Anything I'm missing here? I'm very new to pro tools 9, and I'm aware of the changes in the i/o pages, but I can't see where the issue lies...

Help!

I have the SPDIF output of my RME Fireface UC going to my KRK ERGO (room correction and big volume knob).. works great!

protools doesn't really care about the SPDIF output.. its more about how you setup totalmix. I think if you click on the SPDIF hardware output (bottom row in totalmix, you should then see Software channel 1 or something trying tp put out sound.. raise the software channel to send it out of the SPDIF hardware output.

(by default on my rig, system audio is coming from Software 3/4 and Protools or any other DAW comes out of 1/2)

if that doesn't work, You may also be having a clocking problem with your SPDIF... perhaps set your presonus as slave to the RME?
