Playback issue - Solid Stop/Flashing Play
So I'm running into a global issue that I've seen others post about occasionally, but I've heard of no solid answer to this issue. Here's the details, and any insight would be helpful.
All of my sessions are having this issue. These sessions were just opened and functioning properly as of a week ago on the same setup. Last action performed prior to save was a stereo bounce of the sessions. I'm on a Mac Mini (newest gen) with OSX 10.6.8, an M-Audio Ozonic F/W interface, utilizing a Command 8 surface. Whenever I attempt playback (either key commands or clicking the "Play" button), I get a pause of about 2 seconds before the stop button lights solid blue and the play button flashes green. No amount of waiting begins playback. I have verified countoff is turned off (although this function should only apply to recording) and I have attempted the trick mentioned of changing the H/W buffer size. Nothing works so far. The only thing I have done since this started was do a couple software updates on what I figured to be completely unrelated software (like iTunes and Safari). Any suggestions? Thanks, ~Josh |

Re: Playback issue - Solid Stop/Flashing Play
Sounds like you have machine control or 9 pin control enabled
This happens when waiting for a sync point Look In bottom of edit window left side does it say waiting for sync point ?

Re: Playback issue - Solid Stop/Flashing Play
Yeah, that's what was confusing me. I wasn't online (turned it on and off) and it didn't indicate it was waiting for sync. I did reboot my system and it cleared the issue though. Still a strange bug. At least I can work again. Thanks for the suggestion!
I'll see if I might be able to duplicate the issue though and submit a ticket. |

Oh yeah, good point. It would indicate that in the transport window as well, wouldn't it?

Re: Playback issue - Solid Stop/Flashing Play
Ok I'm having the same issue and machine control is not on. Also I don't know where the 9 pin option is, but I've uninstalled and re-installed Pro Tools 3 times for the same issue. Doing what seems to be 1oo diagnostics and system checks, updates, and so on, I cannot seem to figure out why this keeps happening. I've disabled all but Pro Tools and Finder (running Mac OS 10.6.8) and it seems to work for a couple of loads then, it just won't play. In the bottom left hand corner (when I click play) it says "pause" then nothing happens. I can change tracks using the midi controller (Axiom 49, 2nd gen) but no midi indication on playing a note. Please help me if you can :)
