DigiDesign 003 Factory problem?

[welshevo]

ok i was recording last night and i noticed that the vocals kept cutting out on analog 1? so thought it was buffer settings, changed them and still cutting out, i removed all plug ins and still cutting out, so thought maybe the mic had seen better days so changed mic and it was still doing it so i have now changed to analog input 3 and it is recording perfectly! so could someone tell me if the preamp or chanel 1-2 analog is broken? and is there an easy way of fixing this? or do i have to send the unit back? for information purpose i am using an M-audio Nova mic and yes the phantom power switch was on lol i did think i may have switched them off....

any advice is mushc appreciated!

You can run a test on all of the 003 factory functions. It tells you how in the quick start manual. I would try that first.
