hi.. i saw in hdsp32.exe that the rme multiface can be set in disconnect-mode. then tried to read the manual and it said that you can use it as a standalone, if you just set it in disconnect mode. however, i have the multiface plugged into a rme pci card on my pc, and when i set the card to disconnnect mode, and shut down the pc, the multiface-box starts flashing its usual red led  as if its been disconnected, and doesnt function as is.

am i completely misunderstanding the point of the rme multiface's disconnect mode, does it not allow for audio input to be mapped to audio output - can i not use it as a standalone card which's 8 inputs are being sent to 8 outputs which are plugged into a non-pc computer? can i not use the ADAT out (after configuring the totalmix to send all inputs to ADAT out) in standalone mode?
