[scopelinio]

hi,

as i press play in pro tools eighter spacebar or via mouse on the transport window pro tools 9 wont playback anymore?? it is telling me "pause" and i cant figure out how i got there?

i am getting crazy on this one!

i am using pro tools 9.0.0 on a mac osx 10.6.5 with a mbox2

Have you tried everything in the General Troubleshooting thread already?

Did you go to setup>prefs and check that timeline insertion and edit insertion follows playback are checked? I have had
This issue a number of times and toggling those and i believe edit follow scrub as well, resolved it.

Is your clock set-up to external?

Have you tried switching the playback to core audio?

[scopelinio]

no external clock. core audio has been removed from my computer because of pci troubles...

Ive had this and going in and changing HW Buffer settings seems to free it up. Then I go back and change to original settings and all is ok.
I do know this can be a symptom of your HW buffer being set too low... where are you with that?

I was having the same problem... I followed Digi's troubleshooting steps for deleting the prefs and databases and the problem is fixed.

same problem. very very annoying. sure glad im not recording a band,
that would be fatal good old hardware buttons.

i changed from logic to my new protools 9 about 1 month ago and besides of a few crashes everything was ok so far.

now this strange problem occured. no play. no nothing. just the bling bling no matter what i do.
i have a newer black MBox and even the new Protools 9.0.2 Update. Still not working. A new blank Session is playing but if i open (from there on) the Sessions that worked just yesterday, they dont.
Tried the IO default. didnt work. I read of this Problem with dates long time ago already in earlier versions.

As i tried to change the Buffersize, and then back again, Protools completely hangs and does nothing even after 15 Minutes, so i have to interrupt it manually. The whole Session actually acts pretty strange. As i tried to remove Plugins it was taking wayyy to long. somethings wrong..
looking forward 4 the true solution..
