  Decklink and Avid Symphony 6 audio

  Posted by Oliver Peters on November 22, 2011 at 8:58 pm

  Running Symphony 6 on Mac 10.7.2 with BMD Decklink Extreme 3D card. In the Audio Tool I see digital garbage on output channels 9 and 13. This is set to be a stereo mix to 1&2. Those channels are fine. I’ve tried two different cards with the same results, Anyone else seeing this? I presume it would happen with MC 6 as well if this is a driver or firmware issue.

  Hi,

  This sounds like something documented as a known issue in this page:

  “Audio metering may flicker”

  Does this sound about right?

  [Kristian Lam] “This sounds like something documented as a known issue in this page:”

  Well…. It’s way more severe than flickering. The channel 9 and 13 meters peg zero, even when calibration tone is played. But, it does sound like it’s probably the same issue, just poorly described in the document. I haven’t monitored SDI out, so I’m not sure if it’s really in the audio or only a UI issue. On the L2 one of the beta testers mentioned seeing this in the beta version as well.
