Topic: MADIface pci Express On a MacBook pro with protools 9

I can only get 32 outputs out of 64 via MADI off the laptop system. I'm running protools 9.0.3 on a MacBook pro i7 2.66 ghz machine and sending that signal into an SSL Delta Link MADI Unit hooked up to a protools hd station as a dubber.
Protools  sees the MADIface and in the I/O page of protools I see all 64 ins/out's yet for some strange reason I can't get more that 32 to come out?
I can confirm this as well when I launch the Totalmix software all I see are the 1st 32 outputs
And anything beyond 32 just don't show up in the mixer.
Otherwise the laptop, protools, and the hardware seem to function perfectly.

Am I missing something here? anyone have any ideas why I'm only getting 32 out and not 64?

32 channels maximum is a restriction of Pro Tools 9 with all non Avid audio interfaces.

Then you either overlooked the scrollbar or worked at 96 kHz.
