Does not help as the meter box insists optical SPDIF

We used to have people (techs) just login to our mac and help set it up! Why is this soo hardto get that after 8 years of giving my free time to Avid.? Now i need a few minutes for some tech to look intolur Mac!

If I understand what you are trying to do correctly, the section in the guide I mentioned will allow you to accomplish your goal. Yes, it's in English. But, so is the help here. So, I'm not sure I follow.

He has Optical S/PDIF working now. What he needs to do next is mirror MON L-R to ADAT 1:1-2 in Pro Tools. That is what the section in the What's New guide explains how to do.

It still says N/A under hardware! Not adat or Spdif! So whats wrong then? I cant get those two boxes to say Anything else that N/A whatever I do in the links hou give me.

How about the newbie advise of hitting default on all i/o setup pages after setting optical to SPDIF? Save your setup first so you can recall it if defaulting does not work.

Are you in the session where you got Optical S/PDIF output working (where I think you defaulted all the paths in I/O Setup)? Or, are you in the session with the old Apollo paths?

Looking at your fuzzy pic, it only says N/A for the input. The output shows ADAT or SPDIF. It should be set to SPDIF.

We only use carbon now! And defaulted all ins and outs and auxes etc as thats what we tell other members when their ins and outs are missing. Thanks though! And we dont have any apollo stuff on this 7.1 mac.

I know it is fuzzy but i said 3 times now we have it set to spdif sorry if that got mixed up. Doesn’t matter which we have, adat or spdif it still says N/A and yes we have it set to spdif otherwise the TC loses the green connection light.

Here is how we have it set! Only spdif and left boxes says N/A whatever we do.

Yes. But it only says N/A on the input in the Carbon hardware setup. The output is all that you need to be concerned with. The meter isn’t sending anything back to the Carbon so you don’t need to be hung up about N/A being visible if it’s only on the input side.

If the output is set to SPDIF, then it will just be a routing issue in your session. So, create a new session with one track and route that out to the Optical output of your Carbon. Are the meters working? My guess would be yes.

Now, with one of your older sessions, I’m assuming you’ve got everything routed to a master fader which you have assigned to your Mon L/R. All you need to do now (as JFreak already mentioned in another post) is route that master to the Optical out in conjunction with your monitoring output. Control click the output on the master fader (this can be done with any track) and you can send to multiple destinations.
