Troubleshooting
Can the LynxTWO share interrupts with other devices?
The LynxTWO is able to share interrupts with other PCI devices, as long as the other
PCI device’s driver is written correctly to share interrupts. The LynxTWO is not able
to share interrupts with ISA devices (such as a modem, serial port, printer port, keyboard
or mouse). The BIOS on many motherboards require the user to manually reserve an
interrupt (IRQ) for an ISA device. If this is not done the BIOS may assign an ISA
device and a PCI device the same interrupt which results in a conflict.
Does the LynxTWO support Dolby® AC-3 (Dolby Digital) and DTS?
The LynxTWO supports Dolby AC-3 and DTS through its Digital In and Digital Out
ports. This allows an application to record an incoming Dolby or DTS encoded audio
stream, as well as play an encoded stream through an external decoder. This ability is
available for both S/P DIF and AES/EBU modes. The LynxTWO is able to recognize
and generate the "Non-Audio" bit while recording for both S/P DIF and AES/EBU.
Is it safe to connect the LynxTWO analog outputs to a mixer whose inputs
provide "phantom" power?
The LynxTWO should never have phantom power applied to it's output. This can easily
be avoided by connecting the LynxTWO to the line inputs in your mixer, and not the
microphone inputs. Generally, lower cost mixers have line inputs on TRS connectors.
If you use XLR to TRS adapters cables you should be able to connect the LynxTWO to
your mixer and avoid any phantom powering problems.
