bumping a SPDIF topic

i tried to connect my pulsar II to an FA-66 by roland with spdif in and out...rebumping this...

connected them to ADAT port A (which i found by trial and error). switched the optional spdif in the sampleRate menu... and...
Input is working! hurray! im recieving audio from my other workstation.
and...
Output is not working! tried the output of port A and port B and i see no signal coming through.

what might be wrong? im checking the input on the other computer cubase input meters.

and one more thing, my FA-66 soundcard makes a click when i connect the spdif and they are locked tight. in the pulsra II they are very loose and dont hold very good, but they are connected as the spdif input meter showed.

any advice?

the case often gets in the way of the card's ADAT ports. that may be why the connector doesn't "click" into place.

i have no idea why the output isn't working for you. which card is master and which is slave?

Hi, be prepared to use some significant force to get a new optical cable into a socket that hasn't had much use..

And luckily with optical cables, you can physically see data at the cable terminator..

Make sure you have audio being sent to the adat destination modules in scopes routing window. And make sure your digital device can slave on the adat input for clock..
