AXR4 AES/EBU Issue - No signal thru D-sub

Hi!
We are setting up a new setup for our mastering and we want to use AXR4 as one unit for distribute audio. The setup is this:
RME Internal card in a PC, the HDSP AES The out 1-2 monitor controller 3-4 will go out AES to AES D-sub to AXR4. We will use a Rosendahl external clock. All units looked with the extWC, looks good.

But we can’t get any audio in to the AXR4 thru the AES D-sub connector.
We have tried all seetings. on both side of RME DSP Settings and the AXR4 Settings.

Any ideas, thanks, Best regards / Maxe - Pama Studios

Did you find the answer to this? Asking as I seem to now be experiencing a similar issue on digital inputs. Tested via hardwired digital looping on the AES digital breakout cable using dsub.

Hi Dave!
I can go back to testing this with you, but I need to update me on this station (we have several studios).

Let me check and let’s sort this out, best /Maxe

In the same boat! Nothing coming out from Dsub Any solution for this guys?

The AXR4 uses the Yamaha pin out spec for the D-sub. So if you are making a D-sub connection from the AXR4 into another device, then make sure the device receiving the D-sub out from the AXR4 is wired to accept Yamaha and not the Tascam pin out. Otherwise I don’t believe the connection will work. A workaround is to to use a D-sub to AES snake to make a digital connection. You might also check in the AXR4 mixer app that you have the digital outputs you need enabled (button shows green). In general, we disable any I/O connections not in use because enabling more connections changes the sound of the audio output. In the attached screenshot I’m trying to route an AES input on the AXR4 to an AES output (and the AXR4 does SRC in between). But I don’t seem to be able to select both the L and R AES input channels to assign to a stereo AES output, i.e., I can only route the L or R signal to a stereo AES output.
