Spdif cable (was: Life in the old beast yet! A session report)

Hi,

Hmm reading a bit through this link http://delta.brainiac.com/deltasync.html

"Note about SPDIF cables, these cables are not the same type of cabling used for analog audio, the internal resistance of the cable is different than for analog audio. Although analog RCA may appear to work, it is not reliable. Examples of SPDIF cables can be found at www.hosatech.com"

I just bought a cable for experimenting a bit with spdif. But apparently I didn't bought the right one, but a 'normal' audio cable...

Regards,

\r

What is/was your jackd command line? Or the parameters you used for
period size, sample rate etc.
As saved by Qjackctl:
/usr/bin/jackd -P70 -p512 -dalsa -r44100 -p128 -n2 -D -Chw:1 -Phw:1 -m -H

A note about my setup:  I have 2 Delta 1010s that have an S/PDIF connection
for master/slave clocking as detailed here http://delta.brainiac.com/deltasync.html

If I need more than 8 channels, I'll use the devices multi_capture and multi_playback
rather than hw:1.  And why hw:1 and not hw:0?  At one point I had an IRQ
conflict with one of the 1010s and my Ethernet device, so I had to move
the PCI card for one of the 1010s to another slot.  Somewhere along the
way this switched the order of the two cards, and I've used hw:1 ever since
rather than re-wire my patch panel or switch the cables that connect to the
breakout boxes.
