Default HD Native/Pro Tools not recognising attached DX32

Hey all,

I am having a strange time trying to get a MacBook Pro up and running with a HD Native card. For whatever reason it won't recognise a DAD DX32 (digital only equivalent of an AX32), BUT DADman and the DX32 recognise the HD Native card's 64 digilink I/O and some nice big green dots indicating sync. The card also passes digitest fine. It just won't appear as an option under system sounds, and whenever I boot protools it flags that "there is no digilink interface attached to HD Native, press ok to scan again, etc."

Any idea on what is going on? The digilink cables and DX32 work fine with a HDX card. The same issue is occurring on both a MacBook Pro and 2013 Mac Pro. I have tried two different sonnet TB enclosures with no luck. My only remaining thought is that perhaps it is being caused by a firmware issues? Or... the card is dead. Currently the card is running FPGA firmware version 1.00.4 according to digitest. Would anyone be able to confirm if this is the most recent? Seems like resetting/updating the firmware on the card is a challenge, as the process needs the card to stay powered on during a system restart... which doesn't happen with thunderbolt enclosures.

Did you update the HD drivers?

Yep, its a fresh install on both Mac Pro and MacBook Pro, runnings 2020.11 everything including drivers.

Curiously enough, I tried rolling back to 19.6 versions of everything on the MacBook Pro. When Pro Tools boots, it suggests that the HD Native card requires a firmware update but presents a DAE 1 error, followed by a -1166 error when trying to do it. The -1166 error means the system cannot communicate with the HD Native card. TB3 was suggested as the issue in an old thread, so I'm going to try it again today using the Mac Pro and TB2.

If that don't work... it is off to find a desktop computer with a PCIe slot. I am starting to understand why Avid discontinued the PCIe version of HD Native!

Probably a dumb question, but... do you have the DigiLink I/O license?

Yep. Essentially the entire system works... until I swap a HDX card for a HD Native card.
