Motu 828mkii, mirror Master Output to TOSLink Options

[averogi]

Hello, first of all my hardware setup:

Motu firewire 828mk2;
Ti PowerBook, 867Mhz, 768 Mb RAM, 40 Gb HardDisk, OS 9.2.2;
Logic Audio 4.8.1

I must tell that everything works just fine, but I have just two problems:

1. Is it possible to mirror the master analog output (11-12) to the TOSLink optical stereo output (13-14)?

Until now I didn't achieve to monitor the computer software generated sound and at the same time record this signal on a DAT via TOSLink. It seems to me that the Master output must be analog OR digital, but both at the same time how can I do this with the 828mk2????

2. Is it possible to mirror the master analog output (11-12) to the incorporated phones output of the PowerBook (using soundmanager?) ?

Sometimes when I am on the road I only have my PowerBook with me. And it is very annoying to have
to change from ASIO MOTU Firewire back to MacAV then, and change all outputs, busses etc (this automatic conversion made by Logic isn't free from bugs..). For me it would be very nice to have this option.

Thanks.

Hello there,
I have exactly the same problem as you.It is impossible to listen to the tracks using the Powerbook headphone out without changing the Audio Driver configuration.But a bigger problem is that once you have changed to Mac Av and you come back to ASIO (at least in my case) everything has messed up terribly and I do not get any sound at all.I have to copy and paste the tracks to a new Logic session and trash the old one.

Not that long ago I gave up on it, I could not find a satisfactory way to go round the problem.I will try again to see if I come up with something!!!
