Whenever Accel card is inserted, Digitest won't launch
Hi, new member here with a question
I just bought a HD2 PCIe system used. The idea was to run it on my Mac Pro 3.1 2.8 Ghz quad-core machine. I've removed all traces go a previous Pro Tools 8 LE installment and inserted the 2 cards as stated in the guide. But when the Accel card is installed Digitest can't see any of the cards and the core audio manager crashes upon start. Whenever I pull the Accel card everything works fine. The seller insists that both cards at testing ok on his system. Anyone got an idea of what could be wrong? BTW I checked if the R35 resister is still on the Accel card and it is? Any help? thanks Peter |

Is the flex cable ok? Is the flex cable connected correctly? from slot B on the core card to slot A on the accel card!! Once had this problem fixed by installing the latest ilok drivers!! Do you have another computer with PCIe slots you can use to check? would have to install pro tools on the computer to be able to run digi test. Chris

Hi Chis
Thanks for your answer. Yes the flex-cable is correct connected (B-slot on Core card to A-slot on Accel card). But I have no way to check if the flex-cable is ok. There is however no difference testing with and without the flex-cable at all - it is enough that the Accel card is inserted. I'll try messing with the iLok divers but I think they are ok. Any other ideas are most welcome /Peter |

Hi Mike
Nothing I'm afraid! I ended going a completly different route and dumped the Accel cards. /Peter |

Re: Whenever Accel card is inserted, Digitest won't launch
Sometimes, this is caused by a revision of the accel card that isn't compatible with the rest of your system, be it the computer or another card. I would suggest you contact Avid. Their support team can trouble-shoot this very quickly. I had a similar problem and they solved it right away.

Re: Whenever Accel card is inserted, Digitest won't launch
also there is a resistor on the back edge of the card (R35 if I remember correctly) that is a little to easy to knock off the card shoehorning it into a MP Tower rendering it dead
I did it my self this summer moving some cards into a new tower

Re: Whenever Accel card is inserted, Digitest won't launch
This is most likely the issue and it's pretty easy to fix. Took my tech friend 3 minutes to replace the missing resistor.

Re: Whenever Accel card is inserted, Digitest won't launch
I have this too…r35 missing on a card that won’t work…anyone know the value of this resistor?
Thanks! Sig Edit - it’s 10k. I managed to solder a standard resistor on there as I didn’t have any SMT here, works like a charm!! Last edited by Siegfried Meier; 03-02-2022 at 03:26 PM. |
