PT 5.1.1 - Sync Mode selection in Session Setup dialog

[David Lang]

Hi,

I've just upgraded to PT 5.1.1. I've noticed something weird when changing Sync Mode in the Session Setup dialog. PT 5.1.1 lets you cycle through all three options (internal,optical,S/PDIF) even when you don't have an optical or S/PDIF digital input. For example, I have an ADAT lightpipe connected, but no S/PDIF input. I can now select S/PDIF to sync from. Previously, PT 5.1.0 would have thrown up a message box :-

"A clock source could not be detected on the selected external input. Internal sync mode will now be used ...",

If I sync to the optical input, and record from the ADAT, I get the pops and clicks you'd expect from a clock mismatch. It's as though 5.1.1 is always stuck on internal sync.

I've reverted back to 5.1.0 - everything is fine. Would be nice to use the new features, though.

Anyone seen similar problems ??
