On Mac: Why does my MadiXtreme, set to slave, not follow sample rate changes made on my Alpha-Link, set to master?
On Mac, the sample rate must be selected manually for the MadiXtreme to synchronize as slave to an external device. This applies whether the clock source is WordClock, or a MADI port.
The same applies to an MX4 used in a Mac, where it is identified as a MadiXtreme 128.
