Ah, right. Well it seems on my end that I had to go back to 7.3.2 in order to back rev the firmware on the card after trying every other version previous to 7.9.3. The previous versions of drivers, including 7.5 did not fix the problem on my end since 7.9.3 updated the firmware, but good to know that 7.5 is good as long as the card has the older firmware rev.

Thanks for your response as I did not hear back from Blackmagic tech support. How did you get in touch with them? I never heard back after emailing them directly about this issue yesterday and they do not list this particular issue or a fix in their support tech notes on their site.

Also, do you notice slower booting times with the Decklink cards? This system boots very slowly with the Decklink Studio 2 card in the 4th slot. It works but takes five minutes to boot which made testing various drivers for basic, core capture functionality even more time consuming. Hope we can save someone else the time and trouble.

Okay, the 7.3.2 will force a firmware update and that did fix the audio monitoring issue during capture if anyone comes across a similar situation.
