Sorry Jimmy, been going flat out here - I even had a response written and lost it to a crash. You should definitely be able to use both at once, if my memory isn't completely out to lunch.
A quick check just to eliminate one possibility: have you got the MEC and the 442 connected via word clock cable? They have to be wordclocked together to work.
Also - have you re-patched their cables between cards (ie if MEC is on Card A and 442 is Card B, switch the MEC to Card B and the 442 to Card A)? I believe there was some talk of problems someone had discovered with interfaces not passing audio unless they were connected to the second to last card in the system or something - sorry that's vague, I'll see what I can dig up on that.
edited to add: I just found this in the Notes - don't know if it's true, but worth trying:
| Quote: | Note: If you are using the S/PDIF digital inputs on an IF-442 or IF-MEC to listen to the output of a digital effects processor,
you need to set the Project Window's Sync Source parameter to "Digital".

OK, this thread here is the one that's making me think "hmmm..." in your case.
First off, what is the master clock in your system - PARIS or something else? If it's something else, what is it, word clock or other?
Do you have the word clock going *out* of whichever interface (MEC or 442) is plugged into Card A into the one that's plugged into Card B, or is it the other way around?
Stick with analog connections to the 442 while you're troubleshooting this - it will eliminate one variable. If we can solve the basic issue of passing *any* signal through both interfaces at once it should be easy enough to get the SP/DIF to fall into line after that.
This thread here has some wonderful info about the peculiarities and "how to's" of the 442 courtesy of Deej.
| Quote: | I had the same problem running three MECs and a 442. Losing the 442 in favor of another MEC solved the problem... probably because Paris likes to see a clock signal on all interfaces when it boots, at least with mine, this seemed to be the case. The 442 is not able to see a clock signal until after it initializes which is during bootup so it's not syncing at the same time as the other devices.

If reading that thread ever makes you consider getting a second MEC to replace the 442, there's a PARIS user who just contacted me about selling one a couple of days ago, they cost peanuts nowadays.
