Re: S/PDIF in with ESI Juli@ and JACK

[Gabbe Nord <gabbe.nord@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello!

Thanks for the replies!

I tried some more things:

* Putting the internal clock to S/PDIF in (or, IEC958 in) and then trying both to use the hw:Juli,1 as input, and also to connect it using zita-a2j. Using it as input, I get crashes in both JACK and QASMixer (is there any other mixer I should use for this purpose instead?), and it even hung so bad (an unkillable process) that I hade to restart the computer using the power button. Using zita-a2j, it tries to sync (instead of just spamming syncing like it did before), but it halts instantly and says it'll retry in 15 seconds (something about a too big of a timing difference, and that this usually happens after freewheeling in JACK1 or something like that).

I tried to do this with the internal clock set to S/PDIF, and I also tried de-activating the "Lock rate". No success though. I did however not try the "Lock rate"-stuff too throughly.

Anything else I should try, that I've missed?

Thanks again!

Most envy24 chipsets use the same reg as clock speed. So on that picture
there is a "Multi Track internal Clock" - "48000" if it is expanded the
external clock will be above 96000 (if that is the top speed).

That is different from the Delta series then. Good to know. Though that
could be a SW limit and not HW, but I would guess in this case it is HW.
While it makes sense to lock to spdif to use it, there are cases where the
spdif input may be locked to this card from it's spdif output for example,
where not using spdif clock, but still using the info makes sense.
