1814 ERROR MESSAGE WORD CLOCK OR SAMPLE RATE

[alienmusician]

HELLO EVERYBODY, I OPEN PRO TOOLS, THEN START EDITING OR WHATEVER, AND AFTER A WHILE I START PLAYING WHAT I RECORDED OR EDITED, AND THE ERROR MESSAGE POPS UP SAYING THAT THE WORD CLOCK OR SAMPLE RATE IS WRONG. I RECENTLY HAD ANOTHER PROB WITH THE 1814, WITH MY NEW SEAGATE EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE \, I HAD TO CONNECT THAT THROUGH USB INSTEAD OF FIREWIRE, CAUSE IT WAS GIVING ME DISTORTION BURST IN MY AUDIO WHILE I WAS RECORDING, I FIXED IT, BUT KNOW THE FIRE SEEMS TO BE TURNING OF BY ITSELF, AND IT LOOKS LIKE PROTOOLS IS NOT RECOGNIZING IT WHEN IT TURNS OFF, OR I THINK IT GETS OFFLINE THE FIREWIRE. I DONT KNOW IF ITS MY FIREWIRE CARD OR THE CABLE, BUT THEY WHERE WORKING FINE AFTER I UPGRADED FROM 7.0 TO 7.1. PLEASE HELP, THANKS BRYAN. GODBLESS.
