Hi Andrew, excuse be, but here at the other end, I personally don't get what is not working or what you want, which propably is because, well, I don't know what you want to do with the card.
The 24/48 confuses me even more (is that related ?), and btw, what you propose as a "DAC Test", is not. The DAC Test is the one but last choice under "DAC Is" and is to be performed with 16/44.1 files.
But then I'm dutch ...
So, please rephrase everything, and don't assume anyone knows what AE2 is. Or AE3. Or P/B. And mostly :
I can playback via Audio Engine 3 via my ESI Juli@ spdif but not via my ESI Juli@ analogue;
Where / what / how/ why / messages ?
And I don't try to exaggerate !
In any case, might it be just "no sound" and "time cursor not moving", get yourself the latest
here.
