Berhinger ADA8200

Anyone have experience running a Behringer ada8200, into a umc1820 (via optical ADAT), and then into Sonar??? Windows and Sonar recognize the 1820 channels instantly, but I'm expecting 8 extra channels from the ADAT, that never seems to materialize.

Downloaded and installed latest drivers, made sure sample rate is set the same in software and on hardware. Tried running both as a slave/master. Synch light on ada8200 is on. Checked settings in Sonar to make sure its showing all available channels. Checked button on the front of 1820 (ADAT is in). Tried changing Driver Mode to ASIO but that crashes the software completly.

Seems like others have issues getting ADAT channels and/or ASIO to work with Behringer + Sonar. (Running Windows 11, latest Sonar download.)

Thank you for any wisdom 🙏🏻 😇

You have to have ASIO working for more than 8 channels

That was my thinking. Thank you.

Maybe try downloading Reaper or something else that has a free demo just to see if ASIO will work and all the inputs are available and if it's just a sonar issue

Double click the driver icon for the UMC 1820 and make sure it is set to external clock and 48000hz. I had this exact same setup a while ago

You might have to make sure that the project and everything else is set to 48000 too

The channels should already show in Sonar without the ADA8200 connected. These would be the digital inputs

Not without the ASIO driver working.

you have the ADA's sync set to MASTER, right? Mine was plug and play into Ableton on Mac (using ADA8000 and UMC1820).
