Is there a "Sync Rec" switch on your digital mixer? This could be your
problem...
 
I use an ADV-2000 analogue to s/pdif converter box, from Maplins, and
this mode needs to be switched off. When switched on, I get a similar
problem as you are experiencing. The only other problem with this unit
is the digital conversion is not bang-on Zero CD level!!! otherwise,
everything is fine.

Hey all,
 
I have a question about connecting the digital out of a JBR20 to an
S/PDIF device. Recently I decided to give this a try in my mini home
studio. The (fully digital) mixing board has 2 S/PDIF inputs. Everything
works fine (exactly 0dBFS on the mixer, nice!), until a track change. At
this point, playback stops, the mixer has to resync, which lasts about 5
seconds. In those 5 seconds, there's no sound, as the mixer suppresses
the unsynced (probably garbled) audio. The same thing happens upon
pausing playback.
 
My guess is that the JBR interrupts the S/PDIF clock and the mixer loses
synchronisation. Is there a way to have the S/PDIF clock run constantly?
Or is this a MAS3587 "feature"? It makes the digital port useless.
 
Maybe it's the mixing board that's at fault, I don't know.
 
Anyone any experience with this?
 
Regards,
Joris.
