Being eternally optimistic (Not!) these cards have SPDIF digital out. Is
there any way to link them internally via software or even externally?
(THought I'd ask the stupid question :) )
There is
no way to solve this problem unless you 'sync' the two cards by
means outside of Alsa. I use ADAT clocking (not ADAT sync) and clocking
over s/pdif to sync multiple cards in multiple computers. It works
great...once you get it under control. The RME cards provide good
support for this and good software is available in both Windows and
Linux to see if things are in sync or just in lock.
Got it! Makes sense now.
Somehow the "External sync" capabilities are prolly less than adequate
on 2 SBLive 5.1's that I paid a massive $19.00ec US for! :)
Can midi control do this...they both have midi ports that show in
Qjckctl? MTC is what I'm wondering....not being a midi genius I really
dont know.
