I have been a lurker here the forum. I have been using 3 EDS card 3 MEC 48 track / input system from 2005 to 2016. It ran great on Win 98 with 4 19" monitors. We never could get it stable on Win XP. Then our landlord had a water leak problem and after one month of us not going to studio Mold took over the space and we had to close the studio. Sad but true.

OK I hate to ask questions but I need a 16 channel system for daughter wedding music. I have XP with 2 EDS cards that was a remote recording system for one client. It worked well. So I grabbed it out of storage booted and defragged the hard drives. Reseated all cards and memory. I have spent 2 days and cannot make the system output audio to MEC outputs, Headphone outputs, or MEC 24 bit cards. What gives. Yes patchbay I think is correct. Audio tones in imported in to 3 tracks show on editor, big mixer and master mixer.

I must be missing some button somewhere?

Just a side note I had lightning hit the studio and it wiped out the EDS card C16 interface port. I know the card works for all other functions. Yes When I find another EDS card in storage I will try that card. So do not freak about me being honest on a damaged card. So please provide a mouseable solution as the C16 is not working on the card I have this afternoon.

Thanks;
adrianh

Ok, let's start with eliminating the simple - open the patchbay and check which pair of outputs you've got cabled up from the mixer and monitor outs. This is usually the first thing to bite me when I reassemble a system

Ok, I see you verified the patchbay - did you reinstall any PARIS software? And are you using Mike's current drivers?

These two bugs can make PARIS refuse to pass audio -

Yes mixer out is connected to 1 - 4 on MEC

I SHOULD not need to reinstall drivers.
But it is a PC and we all know......
I will reinstall drivers.

I have an older working win98 recording PC that I will use to substitute for PC WHEN I find it......

Thank again. I will reply back soon. When I do ALL things suggested.

Have you bought Mike's drivers? Best $50 you can spend on PARIS, kills a host of bugs!
