Dee,
Any ideas?
There is no difference on the MADI bus wether you use Windows, OS X or Linux. This seems to be a specific problem with the Euphonix.
I have no reason to believe the MADI bus is different. However, I suspect the stream are different.
The MADI cards work autonomous, they are only controlled by a few parameters. If the parameters are the same, the behaviour is the same. Thus the settings must differ, and we have to find out where.
I have two Euphonix boxes and they both behave perfectly under windows - but not under linux. The main problem under linux is that they lose sync - at the slightest electromagnetic interference (such as turning off/on the speakers - on the analogue side - even from a distance of 3 metres).
I don't believe electromagnetic interference to be a reasonable cause for this. What exactly is your setup - 1x 703 and 1x 713? And both lose sync?
I just had a glance over the Euphonix' user manual and had to learn that they cannot loop through MADI and you have to use the wordclock. So, please, be a bit more specific about the setup - and maybe via private mail, because that's of no relevance to alsa development..
