envy24control with Hoontech C-Port

envy24control with Hoontech C-Port

[Geoff Beasley]

version .60 does not have the  "sync led" that Doug Mclain told me he added. 
Should this be  in the latest stable alsa  1.11?  As I am running 3 cards in 
one machine this would be a very handy feature for ensuring a "synced" state 
between all 3. Does this not work with the Hoontech cards or is there a later 
version ?

cheers,

g.

I'm not sure which patch are you referring to.  Any pointer?

The word clock sync controls are implemented only for M-audio delta
boards.  No other boards, e.g. TerraTec or Hoontech, have this
feature.  That is, no equivalent hardware functionality is given on
these boards (at least, no information how to implement).

I'm not sure what "led" means.  The fix was to change the control
element types for the latest drivers, and the feature wasn't changed
at all by that patch.

Anyway, the sync is for the internal clock, so yes everything should
be sync'ed.

Sync LED? My Delta 1010s don't have anything like that. The only
indication that clocks are synced via S/PDIF is that jackd will
run with the S/PDIF cable plugged in and it will show a slew of xruns
(and eventually die) when the cable is unplugged.

IIRC Doug's fix was just to allow S/PDIF sync to work with the Delta
1010LT (it already worked for the Delta 1010). I don't think he got
round to fixing sync via wordclock input for the 1010LT (that works for
the Delta 1010 but not Delta 1010LT AFAIK).

BTW the Delta 1010 does have an indicator in envy24control that shows
when the clock is synced to wordclock input - could this be the "led"
referred to?

latest tools (1.12.r1)doesn't have the sync indicator that Doug talked about. 
Perhaps it wont work with the Hoontech cards ?
