Kevin,
Hi.
Well, it should be.....but it doesn't, between the two speed 'ranges':
Range 1 - 44.1K/48K
Range 2) 88.2K/96K
Jack can switch between either rate in each range, but for whatever
reason it cannot switch between the two ranges themselves.
If you are running at 44.1K, you have to use hdspconf to switch to
either 88.2K or 96K. Jack could then switch from whichever you chose
to the one you want. Same for going down to 44.1K from 96K. You'll
have to do that in hdspconf also.
I know - it's a hassle.

I'm not sure about this. I use my HDSP 9652 as the system maste clock
and sync Pro Tools to it, as well as syncing my Hammerfall to it. I
use autosync on the Hammerfall ( I think - I'm not at home right now
to check) and it works fine for me.
Good luck getting things straghtened out.
