Hey Neilvg.

I don't really get them on my system anymore. Don't know why. Program updates maybe.
So, I'm sort of a "happy camper"

But great post.

Boe

I mostly get -9093 AAE errors. Even upon initially opening a blank session and hitting play. Would be very interested in hearing anything you can think of that might have changed for you.

Also spoke to Slate beta test manager. Turns out VTM show/hide graphic uses the GPU but in order to do so, it makes a call to the CPU to handle the request which they know causes a large amount (but very short burst) of CPU usage.

However, if you use Activity monitor, and take a 'sample' of pro tools while it is running, you will also get an AAE immediately. My feeling is that at certain points, there is a conflict between disk calls and the Native card. On a PC I would investigate IRQ collisions, but with a MAC...

Hi, I moved from a rock solid HD2 accel setup to HDX last week and am having same errors, far too many 9171 and 9172 errors in pretty simple writing sessions. Did anybody find a workable solution for this? HDX card into Slot 3? (2010 Mac Pro 8 Core, 17Gb 10.8.5 and PT 10.3.9)
Old mix sessions that were fine of HD won't run for more than few seconds on HDX unless buffer is set to max.

I know I'm late to this, have read the thread but if anybody has found a solution I'd be grateful.

Mailed Avid support and nothing, tweeted Avid and nothing… Regretting the purchase at this time and PT11 not an option for all sessions.

Thanks

Matt

I see these on my HDN/Windows system as well. I am starting to think its tied to graphics as it seems to only happen if I am mousing around during a pass. So far, it has NEVER happened if I just let things run and not touch the mouse(worth checking into at least).

And if you really have 17GB you SHOULD remove one GB as un even GB ram sticks causes all kind of issues.

Better to have 8 or 16 GB with the same sticks than an extra stick ram as that becomes a worse system than the lower amount of RAM

un-even gb of ram aren't an issue anymore, as long as all modules are the same speed and latencies.

the failures dont come of that.

most solid system so far with latest pt11 and osx 10.10, although its not officially approved i have very few 9172 failures. pt10 has way more issues with the card.

Thanks for the advice re ram, I'll take out a stick, hadn't heard that before.

Cheers

Ok, let's necro this thread.

I just upgraded my HD Accel3 PT HD 8.1.1.1 rig running on a Mac Pro (4,1) 2x quad core on OS X 10.6.8 with 8 gigs of memory, into a HDX PT HD 10.3.9/11.3.0 co-install. I also upgraded the memory to 24 gigs.

I first started this upgrading OS X to 10.8.5, and after some hurdles both PT 10 and 11 were running ok.

However, I soon noticed that in normal large-ish mixing sessions (60-100 tracks and a lot of plugins, a session that ran fine on my Accel rig, most plugins native on both rigs) with 35% CPU usage, if I did anything outside of PT, playback would stop with one of the CPU errors mentioned in this thread (-1972 error) with a CPU spike so going from 30-35% to 100%. An easy way to get the error would be to actually open the PT manual to the outside browser from within Pro Tools. Also easy to get with plain websurfing (Chrome) or email (thunderbird). This happened most frequently with 128 and 256 buffers, with one or several cores unaloccated for PT.

Switching to 512 buffer helps some but it isn't foolproof, and I could run HD Accel on 128 buffer easily (preferable to keep long ADC chains manageable among other things)

The weird thing is that this happened both on PT HD 10.3.9 AND PT HD 11.3.0

I then did a few things, I upgraded to 10.9.5, this helped some and opening the manual doesn't give the error in the same test session anymore. But 5 minutes of browsing will. And the weirdest thing was that PT HD 11.3.0 benefitted from the update slightly less, giving MORE of these errors than PT HD 10.3.9.

I then upgraded my CPU's from 2x quad 2,26 to 2x 6-core 2,93 - even with the massive CPU overhead from the upgraded system the errors still come. Ed: I also tried disabling hyperthreading via XCode. No tangible effect on the problem.

My next step will be to try OS X 10.10.1 running only PT HD 11.3.0 (once Slate's VCC get's 64 bit AAX support) but I am doubtful that this will be a fix.

I NEVER had this issue on my Accel rig. What gives?

Mikko

Welcome to the future!

It certainly appears that AVID can't fix the issue or they're waiting to make us pay for it. I am completely dumbfounded by the lack of action on this issue.

Simple test on my HDX rig, had a virtual synth (doesn't matter which one) in a PT session @ 96k with a 256 buffer. 9172 errors pop up repeatedly. Open up the same VI in Logic Pro X running at 96k with a 256 buffer using HDX Core Audio Driver and viola! No errors!

I also did the same exact test on a Mac Book Pro with Pro Tools HD 11.3 and an Mbox Pro 3. Had the same exact results. Couldn't work in Pro Tools, but Logic using the Mbox Pro 3 ran beautifully.
