For now, I've got it recording analog audio. They are recording a
four-hour live show Saturday morning and playing it back Sunday evening,
and I won't be back there again until Monday. I'll take a look at it when
I'm next there.
What's interesting is that if I launch the rdcatch program and watch while
it's recording, I don't see anything on the level indicators when I'm
recording from the AES3 input, but if I've got normalization turned on,
there will be audio recorded. If I'm recording from the analog input, I do
see level indications during the recording.
Thanks,
Rob

I recently installed an ASI5810 sound card in a Rivendell

output of this card.
rdcatch appears to record only sometimes from the AES3 input.
In particular, if normalization is selected, we get a recording
with audio, but if no normalization is selected, we get silence.
The problem does not occur if we record from the analog input.
WUMB runs an older version of Rivendell (2.19.3), so if this
problem has been fixed in newer versions, I'll make the case to
management that we need to upgrade.
In the meantime, I think we'll be recording ffrom the analog
input.
I’ve never tested with an ASI5810, but in looking at the mixer layout
[https://www.audioscience.com/internet/products/sound_cards/asi581x.htm],
that card has a decidedly ‘unusual’ layout on the capture side. There are
two physical inputs (one analog and one AES3), but the accompanying text
says 'Two stereo streams of PCM record fed from 1 stereo input’; whereas the
card that the ASI5810 superseded (the ASI5111), that likewise had two
physical inputs, had each one hard-wired to its respective stream converter.
How many inputs does RDAdmin report? Have you tried with all available
inputs?
Cheers!
