So I upgraded to an Audient ID 22 and everything seems to work flawlessly except for the S/PDIF aspect. My settings are as follows:
Kemper:
S/PDIF OUT on Kemper and S/PDIF 75 ohm cable going from there to a converter box (Coaxial in to Optical OUT box since the Audient ID 22 only has Optical connections)
Optical cable going from Optical OUT of the converter box to the Optical IN of the ID 22
Master Stereo on Kemper selected
44.1Khz in DAW and in mixing software of ID22 selected
Clock source sent from 'Internal' to 'Optical' on ID22 mixing software in order for the ID22 to function as a slave
DIGITAL OUT selected S/PDIF and DIGITAL IN as SPDIF in ID mixing software selected
Unfortunately, there's no signal being read (red, no-signal light in mixing software) and I can see that the optical cables have the red glow when unplugged. Or just a flickering of errors and audio meter spikes and a repeat of ERROR INVALID CLOCK SOURCE if I select SPDIF for hte connections in the mixing software. I have fiddled with the settings and even tried another converter box (though it was very similar) in addition to another Optical and SPDIF cable with no success. I also tried re-installing the software and have the latest drivers for Windows 10.
The only other thing I am thinking is potentially is the type of converter box. All of these items are brand new and as I've said I've tried another converter box and multiple optical / S/PDIF cables without success.
Pretty disappointing. Thoughts? The Hi-Z connections to the Audient work great. Too be honest, I'm wondering if anyone has ever even had any success using the digital in for any Audient interface with a Kemper without clocking / other issues. The tech suppor at Sweetwater said this cannot be done while Audient support said it could be.
I'd like to add that the Converter Box here was from Amazon. If anyone has successfully use an Audient interface with a Lindy converter or even any other please let me know! I'm wondering if this is even possible with this interface.
