DigiTest reports: "Bus Master Test Failed"

[Matiz]

Hello,

regarding to my reported problem with bouncing/recording synths posted earlier here...

Logic Pro 7 & Indigo: distorted sound after bounce

...I made some further tests. I also tried recording an external synth in PT 6.7cs8 and the same problems appeared. ProTools was reporting a lot of trouble during recording "Your harddisk is not fast enough, please disconnect firewire devices" etc.

Then I started the "Digi Test" application and it reported the following errors:

Bus Master Test DSP A : Failed Expected 1448433237 pattern, but got 1448433152
Bus Master Test DSP B : Failed Expected 1448433237 pattern, but got 1448433152
Bus Master Test DSP C : Failed Expected 1448433237 pattern, but got 1448433152
Bus Master Test DSP D : Failed Expected 1448433237 pattern, but got 1448433152
Bus Master Test DSP E : Failed Expected 1448433237 pattern, but got 1448433152
Bus Master Test DSP F : Failed Expected 1448433237 pattern, but got 1448433152
Bus Master Test DSP G : Failed Expected 1448433237 pattern, but got 1448433152
Bus Master Test DSP H : Failed Expected 1448433237 pattern, but got 1448433152
Bus Master Test DSP I : Failed Expected 1448433237 pattern, but got 1448433152

All other tests passed without problems.

My configuration is:
- G5 Dual 1.8 (december 2003 with PCI-X slots)
- 1.5 GB memory
- 1 S-ATA HD
- HD Core card in the slot next to the AGP graphics card
- UAD-1 DSP Card in the slot next to the HD Core card

So my slot configuration is:
- EMPTY
- UAD-1
- HD CORE
- AGP

Can anybody please tell me if my bouncing/recording problem has something to do with the Bus Master Test problems?

How can I fix the Bus Master Test problems?

Thanks in advance for your help!

All the best,
Matiz

Hello,

I would suggest removing the cards carefully and re seating them again! i would leave out the UAD card for now and just concentrate on the HD core! check the cables are well connected and then run digi test again!!

If the problem persists, you will have to return the card to digi!?

Good luck

Regards

Chris

Hello,

thanks for your reply.

I removed the UAD card and the UAD drivers today and the problem still exists. Then I put the HD Core card in the middle PCI slot -> same problem!

Last chance might be reinstalling the whole system, I hope this helps. Otherwise I have to return the card to Digidesign, I think.

Lets hope the best!

Kind regards,
Mat

problem solved
here is the story:
I removed the cards, put them back in again - this was when the problem began. I fought with it for several hours removing and inserting the cards, cleaning them, etc. It did not help. Then I removed RAM from the computer, put it back in - the machine would not start at all. Then for another 30 minutes I was trying to make the G5 working again without PCI cards. It took me around 6-7 rounds of removing and inserting RAM sticks before it started working again. When I inserted Core and Accel cards everything started working normal and the digi test went through passed.

This brings the conclusion that it is my old G5 Dual 1.8 that is playing up, not Pro Tools hardware.
