Topic: raydat spdif output problem

I'm new with the raydat but what i'm trying to do is run spdif from raydat to my Presonus Central Station for monitoring.  Now i started off with a adat/lightpipe cable from adat output 4 to my Central Station with no luck.  Then I tried using a Spdif coax cable from the breakout cable on the raydat to my spdif input on Central Station and again nothing. I also tried running the spdif to my Tc Electronics Finalizer just to make sure it was not the Central Station that had the problem and again nothing. 

I'm wondering if I am overlooking something some place.  Like I said i'm new with the Rme stuff so i hope its something simple.  Any Ideas?

I'm using Windows 7 64 bit with Protools 9.

Re: raydat spdif output problem

Wrong SPDIF coax connector used? Optical: SPDIF Out - ADAT4 is checked in the card's Settings dialog?

Re: raydat spdif output problem

Yep tried both of these with no luck.  Made sure when using coax i checked that in settings and then tried adat 4 as well when using adat cable.  I tried 2 different spdif cables as well. 

What color on breakout cable is spdif output (red or white) and which is input?

Re: raydat spdif output problem

Red should be output, but you better check by feeding some signal (CD player or such).

Re: raydat spdif output problem

Maybe you have a similar problem, Protools 9 only gives you 32 in/outs.

Not to overlook the seemingly obvious - do you have Totalmix set correctly?  cool
