Reading the manual helps. Seriously, why do you expect it to show nonsense?

Sorry, I didn't do a good job of explaining:
Here's a video file that shows the issue: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tlm15105oor3m … 6.mp4?dl=0

Setup:

Single mic running into ADI-8 DS via TDIF
ADI-8 is connected via optical to my internal PCIe card HDSPe AIO

Everything works fine at 48kHz or 44.1kHz
If i jump up to 96kHz it seems to still be sending only one track to AIO. Because of DS I expect to see two mono tracks being used. Am I getting a true 96kHz file?

My TotalMix shows only ADAT1 being used whereas I would expect ADAT1 & 2 to be used for the DoubleSpeed file.

Is that any clearer? Let me know what you think.

Try again, I did not understand that queston. But it seems you did not activate 96 kHz on the card.

Now, when I select DS the number of inputs goes from 7 to 5. signal showing is on ADAT1 only. I expected that the input would show on ADAT1&2. Is this correct?

That was it. Thank you!
I was using the AUX ADAT INs/Outputs.

Changing the sample rate in the Settings dialog is not efficient. You use whatever software to record/play, and you have to change the sampe rate in there, and should use ASIO. As the AIO card has only one ADAT I/O you will only see 4 ADAT channels left then. And if you used the wrong TOSLINK on the ADI (Aux instead of Main) you will see no signal anymore...

I switched to 96kHz in Ableton and then chose DS on my ADI-8 still has no impact on HDSPe AIO. I have one input, a mic and it shows level on the ADI-8 inputs (lights up green) before switching and after switching to DS but withj DS on no level is evident in TotalMix. Hardware inputs are showing no signal.

I do change the sample rate to 96kHz in the little app that lives in the taskbar.

I have the HDSPe AIO and the ADI-8 DS.

I use the analog TDIF inputs of the ADI-8 for my mic inputs and connect to the PCIe AIO card via ADAT Optical.

I've in the past used the S/MUX feature of the ADI but now I can't seem to get it working.

Is there a better "front end" to the HSDPe AIO card?

Many thanks!

When I initiate DS (SMUX) and try to achieve 96kHz or higher my inputs no longer work. No signal is passed out of the ADI-8 DS but I can see from the front panel of ADI-8 that the input working(green light under #1 responds to live mic)

I'm using TotalMix to view my Hardware Inputs. When I go in without DS it's fine, I see an
active channel. But clicking DS on and no audio tracks respond.

Does my ADI-8 need servicing?
How do I determine if it needs servicing?
