Can you please tell me how to access the driver settings on the UFX please? I feel like this equipment might be going to waste since I should be able to use the original cables I bought for the AES to spdif. Not mad or anything, I just want to use the converter now with adat to see if it actually works since I bought the cables and the converter.
Not sure in which way the UFX drivers are different, but on most RME interfaces you should have two icons in lower right corner (at least on pc). One is for totalmix the other is for the general settings. This is also the place where you set the buffer size. There should be a option to configure at least one of the 2 ADAT inputs for SPDIF.
On a Mac, it might be a little different, i don´t know.
Once the signals gets through you should have the meters react in the totalmix. You still may have to route the SPDIF input to the output that you use for monitoring.
