Creative ASIO and PT10

[rtman26]

I have PT10 and a Sound blaster x-fi titanium card that has an optical in and out...but I can't figure out how (or if I can) use that as an adat i/o. Unless they are already an option and I just don't know it. I've attached pictures of my "default" i/o, as well as a pic of my sound card's panel. Hopefully someone can help decipher what everything might be.


Obviously the inputs all correspond to the 1/8" stereo jacks (although I'm not sure they will actually work as inputs yet....) I'm just not sure what "mixed" means....digital and analog?

The outputs make a little more sense...the first five again, correspond to the 1/8" jacks on my sound card...but I have No idea what the "FX" outputs could be...

What I would really LIKE to do is use the optical in for some ADAT pres, and then use the 1/8" jacks to set up surround outputs. No, I don't have HD, but I've read that you can still technically process surround sound if you set your outputs correctly. Any ideas and help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, Have you tried sending signal to all of your outputs? That's probably the best way to figure out exactly what's being sent to each output. You could send signal to one output pair at a time from Pro Tools - one of those could be going to the optical out.

Only guessing here, but I would expect the optical out to be SPDIF only

Just found the data sheet....it's SPDIF....

Well...that was deflating....nevermind.

Thanks guys.
