Audient id14 and lightpipe to ipad
Hello all, I’m about to do some recording with friends, and we tried to run a test set-up last night using an audient id14 and presonus audiobox chained together via optical cable into an iPad Pro 9.7, with Auria (regular version) as the DAW.
We were able to get each interface working individually, but unable to get any kind of signal from a mic the minute we tried to use them together. Unfortunately we only had one optical cable so we weren’t able to test if that was just the problem, and will do so today, but I was just wondering if anyone had successfully done this setup and could point out something we may have missed? There is some info about slaves and masters which also may be the problem and there was no info that we could find about how to designate which was which. If all else fails we can just use the presonus with it’s 8 inputs but we were keen to test out the audient. Thanks for your help!

Pretty sure iOS cannot support management of 2 USB audio interfaces. There's no option to designate slave/master. I would go with the Presonus
You are only using one Audio device inputting to the iPad, with the other device feeding audio to the connected device through optical. Is this correct?
But yes, only one audio device at a time for iOS. Even through a hub. USB mics are audio devices too.
Yes, this is the situation. We tried also connecting it to a laptop and had the same result, could get them working individually but not together, plugging a 58 in, no USB mics. For some reason I thought that expanding the id14 with lightpipe would be read by the iPad/laptop as being one device, but I guess I was wrong! Plugging both devices in does give us 10 inputs in Auria though - just no signal.
I thought that would work too. See if you can test the optical connection without the iPad involved, maybe through headphones on the id14, if possible. If it still fails to produce a signal, then it’s probably your optical cable, or some setting needs to be activated to use the optical on either device.
If you connect an ID14 to IOS you'll always see 10 inputs (2 analog channels and 8 digital channels in Adat format).
The digital channels are input only, so the ID14 must be set to digital slave mode if another device is connected digitally.
Unfortunately there's no Audient control panel software under IOS, so you can't switch the digital port to S/PDIF and you cannot make any routings.
The ID14 may be configured via Mac/PC, but looses these settings if power is shut down.
Without an USB audio capable host connected, the ID14 doesn't process any sound, it's dead silent on both input and output.
(just connection to an iPad isn't enough, it needs some audio app running - I use an ID22, which is practically the same in most of the hardware and software)
Thanks @Telefunky
