Nick, Following on from my other response to you, I do not see the problem you are speaking of. (Again, assuming I understand what you are saying the problem is.) The attacked .png file (I hope small enough to be accepted by the reflector - it's about 27K) shows the audio on channels 8, 10, 12 & 14. This assumes your channel numbering of 0-23 and is all even (left ) channels on the ADAT 2 input to the HDSP 9652.
I ran a quick test this evening by creating a session in Pro Tools where I have a single stereo audio track. I then routed the track (via sends) to the 4 ADAT stereo output pairs: Pro Tools HDSP 9652 in ADAT 1-2 ADAT-2 8,9 ADAT 3-4 ADAT-2 10,11 ADAT 5-6 ADAT-2 12,13 ADAT 7-8 ADAT-2 14,15 I recorded the four incoming stereo pairs using Audacity and then deleted the 9,11,13 & 15 inputs from the display for this picture. As you can see from this display, there is not obvious different between the 4 channels. Channel 8 appears to be identical to channels 10, 12 & 14. I think that if there was the ordering problem you were seeing it should be evident in this photo, but I'm not seeing it. (This was true for 9,11,13 & 15 also...) If I've misunderstood the problem you are debugging, let me know and I'll set up another test. This only too 5 minutes to do, so I'm happy (and interested!) in helping you debug this, especially if it does turn out to be a global problem with the card. BTW - what firmware does your HDSP 9652 have? I suppose that a different revision of firmware could certainly account for differences. Cheers, Mark
