Topic: Octamic not working? - no sound

Hello. I'm new to this forum.
I'm having a problem with an old (1st gen) Octamic that I recently bought. I've got no sound.
I've connected from the adat aux (the main is broken) to adat IN on my fireface UC.
Also I've connected a word clock cable from the octamic to word OUT on the UC.
The green "sig" on the octamic is lighting up, so up until then, there is signal, but I've got no sound in Totalmix or my daw (LPX). I've tried every other possible combination of cables and ways to plug it in and tested all the channels. Still no sound.
My dip switches are at:
1: down
2: down
3: up
4: down
5: down
6: up
Fireface inputs and outputs works just fine.
Can anybody help me please?
I really need to record some drums.
Thankyou, Frederik.

Re: Octamic not working? - no sound

Unless you work at 176.4 or 192 kHz you have set switches 4 and 5 wrong. In case you do AUX (same as Main) does not carry any audio, as explained in the manual (page 10).

Ok, Thankyou Matthias!
I will try it with switches 4 and 5 up and see what happens.
