Launching Pro Tools 10.3.10 on TDM system reverts to Aggregate outputs
I've had a problem for a while, finally have time to ask:
I've got an 8 Core Mac desktop, latest Mountain Lion and PT 10.3.10, a couple of 96 I/O's and an expansion chassis with 6 Accel cards. It works great, but at random times, when I load the app, it reverts to the Aggregate outputs. I have to jump through hoops to get it to recognize the 96 I/O's. Sometimes restarting fixes it, sometimes I open a session and it asks which I/O I want to use and then has to quit and relaunch ProTools.Sometimes I try everything and throw my hands in the air. I can't figure it out. It sometimes takes me 20 minutes just to get started. Any ideas? Thanks! Last edited by Larold; 08-23-2015 at 09:11 PM. |

Never experienced that before.

I'm a fan of deleting these auto made Aggregate devises in Audio Midi Setup
It's probably a case of your chassis not being ready to go when you launch Pro Tools

It might be worth re-seating all cards and connections too

When you select "Playback Engine" does the top most drop down box say HD TDM or Aggregate??

Re: Launching Pro Tools 10.3.10 on TDM system reverts to Aggregate outputs
Sometimes the HD isn't even on the list, and it defaults to Aggregate. I always boot up in the same correct order...and take my time with it....if I restart my computer, then the HD usually shows up. I can't see any rhyme or reason.
Maybe I'll try waiting 30 seconds before I turn on each device. Seems silly to give it that long. My startup sequence is: External chassis, external HD, big Ben, Digi 96's then the computer. |

When you check Apple System Profiler under PCI(when you're having this issue) do you see that there is a chassis connected and does it recognize your cards??

Quote:
Your sequence is correct, timing should be dictated by watching all interfaces for stable operation (no more flashing lights). The most reliable solution, once I have ruled out faulty hardware connections, etc; is to uninstall PT (the safe choice) then reinstall. This is much more comprehensive than simply deleting prefs. I have done this more times than I can count.
