Help..Native Card with Lynx Aurora Converters

[jantelis]

Anytime i switch the sample rate or close a session thats say 44.1 and then open a session thats 48k or 192 etc etc i got an error saying " protools has detected the number of peripherals connected to the native card has changed ( when indeed this hasn't happend) please check the connections and restart protools" This happens every time. I must restart protools every time i open a session with a different sample rate. running all the latest firmware, drivers, OS etc etc. did the usual troubleshooting and also some shouting at my computer ( i don't think that helped)

I'm on a mac pro 8 core, running 10.6.8 protools hd 9.0.5

Avid Native Card ( which i just bought) Lynx Aurora 16 ( with LT-hD card)

Anyone help would be much appreciated . Troubleshooted this on my own and was stumped and also called up Lynx and Avid. They also were stumped.

Anyone else here running a similar setup? and running into these issues? i'm about to return the native card but would love to keep it as i like having hd software without the accel cards that i don't need for what i do.

thanks!


ps there is also another error that happend twice with this native card " could not complete the open session...command because end of stream "encountered"

I've got exactly the same problems

8core Macpro
i'm not sure but i think 10.6.7, Protools HD 9.0.3
AVID HD|Native card
2x Lynx Aurora 16
Restarting Protools mostly solves the problem, sometimes i have to restart Protools 2 or more times..... annoying!!!

The "end of stream" error did occur once. The session couldn't be opened anymore afterwards......

AVID, please solve this problem!!!!

Unfortunately, the Aurora isn't really compatible with HD Native. You would have better luck using one of the new Avid converters.

Thanks for posting. I'm told lynx is working on a fix. It appears avid changed the connection on the native card ( from what it was on the hd cards) alot of dealers have no clue there is even an issue.

I'm on my way to grabbing an HD Native card and was considering the same Lynx converter. Has this issue been resolved? Furthermore, has anyone compared the converters on the Lynx to an Avid Omni or 8x8x8? Is it worthwhile to deal with these compatibility issues?
