Digidesign 192 A/D input card issues...

[Justin1524]

Hi -

I have a blue Digidesign 192 analog I still enjoy using. Everything clocks perfect (to an Apogee Big Ben) and all digital connections and analog out connections work and sound perfect.

My problem is my 8 channel A/D input card has started making audible crackling noises, some channels seem worse than others. My question is if I replace the card am I likely to fix the problem? I opened the case and tried re-seating the ribbon cable, it didn't help. Around $200 to replace the card with a used one on eBay which I can stomach financially but only worth it to me if it works. I enjoy using this card with my Digidesign PRE which works perfect and I tested, so I know it's not the PRE.

Anyone else ever have this problem. I'd really rather scope out a replacement card in the $100 range so if anyone has one they wanna sell me, I'm at [email protected]. Thanks!
