Mac audio synchronization

Dave,

On PPC macs with SPDIF in (many towers and even the last PPC laptops) the entire audio system will automatically synchronize to a valid incoming SPDIF signal. Depending on which models are in your setup you could send the same SPDIF signal (silence would work) to all machines and they would stay sample locked. You could daisy chain, although the units later in the chain might lose lock (the clock jitter might accumulate, hop to hop). If your machines are all PPC towers with SPDIF in and out, it might work.

The first test would only cost you one SPDIF cable. Take the two units from your population that drift away from each other most rapidly and see if plugging a cable from one's SPDIF out to the other's SPDIF in fixes it.

Best Regards,
