Default Peak LED stays on - Huge issue!!

Hi all,

I have an mbox original and a mac mini 1.5ghz core solo. I just finished upgrading my ram to 2gb's in my mac mini. Everything was fine before and now whenever I start the mac, the mbox peak light for source 1 input stays lit. this is causing the audio that the mbox is processing to sound distorted. Nothing is plugged into source 1, i have disconnected and reconnected, trashed prefs and ddb's, installed the latest mbox firmware, made sure my clock source is set to internal and unplugged everything other than the usb cable at the back of the mbox.

Any ideas? Have i fried my mbox?

Neil.

Is sleep mode disabled on your Mac?

=Thanks for the reply Phil

Yes it is - both sliders set all the way to the right - Never

I have also established that both headphones outputs do not work at all now.

1. Can you post your full system spec (OS, PT version, HD, peripherals etc). I take it you're running a version of PT that compatible with the Mac Mini/OS?
2. Any non Intel compatible plugs?
3. If you take out the additional RAM stick, does the problem persist?

Hi Phil,

Thanks again for the reply.

I really think this is my mbox hardware as i have a pc running pro tools le also and when i plugged it into the windows pc it did exactly the same thing.

is there a way to completely reboot/reset the mbox?

Otherwise how long is the hardware warranty?

btw no non-intel plugs. I am sure as I only have digirack plugs on this version and they were all loaded with 7.1.1

Haven't tried the ram stick yet, but as it is doing in on the windows machine, i doubt this is the issue
