RESOLUTION
Check to ensure that the sampling rate is the same for each device. Most devices allow you to pick sampling rates that are multiples of either eight or 11.
For example, you can set the Sample Rate on the Gadget Labs card to 8 KHz, 16 KHz, and 32 KHz, or you can set it to 11 KHz, 22 KHz, or 44 KHz. If all of the devices are set to use the same pattern, then the Encoder works properly.
