Default No Sound Out Of Converters???

Hello.
This is a very odd occurrence that's been happening for past few days. My system is MAC/Intel Pro Tools HD-9 System with 6 192s clocked by Big Ben with HEDD192 as master clock) and ICON . The problem started when a week ago few times I would open Pro Tools at the beginning of the day only seeing 5 out of 6 devices(192s). Had to restart it then it goes to full 6. That was a week ago. Few days ago, I open PT see 5, so I restart and still 5. No sound would come out of converters or get registered on meters of 192. Where I see it on meters in Pro Tools software. Tried restarting it few times, trashing preferences, switching sample rates. Finally, after a few hours sound came back on.
Next day same thing, accept now sound doesn't come back. Tried to find if its one of the converts (192) is bad. Thought I singled out one, disconnected. Ok everything came back on. Next day same thing, even with the disconnected 192 same problem No Sounds or audio on meters of 192s.
The weird thing is after about 2 hours the sound comes back....
Any ideas.
Thanks.

Automate your computer to turn on two hours before you get there .
At least until you find where the problem is .

Have installed any new updates recently .
I don't have much to offer you unfortunately with a rig like that you must have it connected to a console I would imagine . You situation is far beyond my actual experience . But once in a while a dummy answer may get you through until you actually fix the underlying issue.

... with a rig like that you must have it connected to a console I would imagine ...

phatbeatstudio...Why on earth would you imagine that?

He has an ICON, he has "Mix" in his user name, he has a lot of converters. Did you ever consider that he might be doing post or just solely mixing? BTW...I read his studio's equipment list and didn't see a console.

New username (a TOS violation, by the way)...same old (mostly) BS posts...
