Hi Reuben and all,
Thanks for your I hope you don't mind me posting this back to the list!
I'm sorry for spamming you with my reply earlier - I was trying to send
it to the list...
Anyway, I've also added some extra text this time round...

Ok. That's kind of what I expected, from what Fernando said.
If you have it working, but get an absurd number of
XRUNs when
starting Jack, it probably means you have a digital input selected,
but no actual digital devices connected. It's trying to sync with an
external device, but isn't finding a signal. Select an analog input,
or actually connect something to the digital input.
I think that this is almost certainly exactly what is happening. At the
moment I have my ADC/DACs connected to my Digi9636, and I didn't really
consider that syncing would be a problem before I'm actually using the
interface. That makes perfect sense, though. I'll test it tomorrow.
If you haven't found it yet, there is a tool for
the DIGI 96/8 series
that is part of alsa tools that provides a little interface for
selecting which input you want to use, your clock source, pad
settings, DAC volume, sample rate, etc.
Cool! It is called 'rmedigicontrol'. The alsatools website says that
'rmedigicontrol is a control tool for RME Digi32 and RME Digi96 sound
cards. It provides a graphical frontend for all the sound card controls
and switches.' So, does it also work on my Digi9636? When I run it, it
just opens one window which appears to control the 96/8 PAD.
Just out of interest, does anyone know a *useful* way that I could sync
together two Digi9636 cards and one Digi96/8 PAD?
Thanks again,
Michael
