Hi all! It's been awhile! My 2 card 2 Mec rig began displaying all meters pegged on card b mixer with no sound out of card b. When I make card b the master it works fine but card a doesn't work; though its meters display nothing. Running xp. I've redone setup numerous times tried different cards all cards work fine alone. Replugged crossover cables many times.... anyone run into this?
Thanks so much! Great to see the forum rocking still!

Hi Willhunt

Double check your ribbon cables that they are orientated the same and the wide ones are crossing over in X configuration. It should be something simple as it sounds like everything is functioning one at a time. Check EDS SCSI cables for bent pins. It has happened to me where one pin gets bent and causes much strangeness. Confirm your config file matches your clock source...ie house sync=1 or 0. Spdif in from mec chassis Master to Mec chassis slave spdif out or you wont get sound from slave eds card. Also make sure LR mix is patched to digital LR out on your "slave EDS Card.

Good Luck and Happy New Year!

Thanks imajon! I run out to an analog mixer via the effect sends for each track individually. Re the spdif i think you mean bnc. My rig has worked fine this way with 2 mecs and 32 outs since 98 or so. The issue arose seemingly spontaneously. I'll check out your suggestions! Happy new year!! Will

Found my problem...one eds card simply doesn't get along with others...works fine by itself. Pheew! Luckily I had another....been a long few weeks....great to have 32 outs again! Time to build a backup.. moral of story....sometimes it's the hardware dammit! Will

Last thing you'd ever think would be the problem.

We had one with our two old MOTU 828 IIs, seems they didn't like the new firewire protocol (I think that's the term) in anything newer than Windows XP SP1 so when we upgraded our old puter and installed the new service packs we lost connectivity of one of the MOTUs

Seems this wasn't a new issue but there was no work around for us so we sold them and picked up a used RADAR V to handle our AD/DA conversion...now that was a freaking eye opener in terms of a sonic upgrade...WOW!
