AD-16x smux into Alesis HD24 XR Problem

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

We can't get our Alesis to lock to the Apogee's clock when smuxing
(multiple lightpipe) at 88.2 or 96. This combo works great at 44 and 48
but when we set it up for high res, the Alesis samplerate light blinks,
indicating a lack of clock and it does't accept audio. Reps at both
companies point to possible inconsistancies in the other companies
implementation of the s/mux protocol.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

What does Alesis say about this? Maybe it doesn't work. I would be
suspicious. How about using external word clock synchronization? Does
one have a clock input and the other a clock output?

That's the way it works. S/Mux is a convention, not a standard
published by one of the industry standard organizations, so there
could indeed be quirks.
