Carbon losing communication
My Carbon suddenly had a “lost communication” problem the other day right before a tracking session.
I restarted the computer/carbon a few times and changed the playback buffer back and forth and finally it worked itself out. Not sure what the fix was as I was doing everything quickly with players waiting to record. Is there a known fix/tweak for this if it starts happening? Chris Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Carbon losing communication
Thanks for the input. I just updated to 2022.4 from 2021.12 so I’ll see if this helps.

Re: Carbon losing communication
Chris - I haven't had this problem myself, but there have been a number of updates in PT and MacOS to address this.
While I'm not recommending you update from Catalina - my Mac Pro is staying on 10.15.7 - there are things related to this problem in both Big Sur and Monterey. eightamrock - I see you are on the latest version of Monterey to be supported, but you don't say what version of PT you are using - the latest one (2022.4) has some Carbon firmware upgrades to address this issue. You could even do the firmware upgrade and then go back to using the earlier version of PT, which may help. Dominic |

The above issue is new and has only happened once when. I should note I was NOT in PT when it happened. I was using the Carbon for a zoom call. LOL |

Thanks for the input. I upgraded protools and the firmware on the carbon updated. I’ll see if this fixes it…if not I’ll go to a higher OS. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I'm Running the Latest Version of Protools 2022.5 and Bug Sur 12.4. Super slow startups, to no boot up at all, and dropouts.

I doubt if slow start-up and boot failures (do you mean PT start-up failures or OS boot failures?) have anything to do with Carbon, but they might point to a problem with your machine/OS/PT installation, which then make communication problems with Carbon more likely. What Mac are you using, what spec is it, and how are you connecting the Carbon (Ethernet port, adapter or adapters)? Anything else on that port? Dominic |

Re: Carbon losing communication
OK, so as a check, if you disconnect the Carbon and use another audio interface (internal or external), do you still get the startup hangs?
If you do, I would look at trying to find out why PT isn't behaving well. If not, then that's a weird problem. In fact, either way, you have plenty of power, no complications with your connection to Carbon and a supported configuration. I would raise a ticket with Avid. Personally, I think Monterey works better than Big Sur, but my experience is limited to an M1 machine - (my Mac Pro 7.1 is still on Catalina and works fine with Carbon). But you may not want to upgrade from Big Sur to Monterey, especially as it won't necessarily help. Your experience is not unique, but it's not clear to me why some people have problems and others do not. Dominic |
