192 isn’t being seen.

[milesofwire]

G5 2.5 GHz, Pro Tools 8 doesn’t see the 192 I/O.
I hear a click come from the interface and get the message that the I/O can’t be seen.
This is when DAE is loading.
Anyone know what could possibly be wrong?

Dirty or broken digilink cable. Run digitest and see if it says everything is okay with your card(s).

[milesofwire]

Ran DigiTest and everything passed.

See if the 192 is showing in Mac Sound and in Audio Midi Set Up

Or Try holding down the N key while launching PT and see if the 192 shows as a selection ...

[milesofwire]

Yes the Digidesign hardware shows up in Audio MIDI Setup.
And when I hold “N” down on startup I get a screen where I can adjust the number of voices and sample rate.
When I select a sample rate the interface changes accordingly.
Not sure where to go from here.

My cards pass DigiTest
HD Core
HD Accel
HD Process

Buy a used 192 and keep the old one for parts?

[milesofwire]

Ok, I got somewhere.
I removed the Process and Accel cards and pro tools booted up!
So I guess I have a bad card that DigiTest isn’t finding.
Weird!

[JFreak]

... or bad ribbon connection

[milesofwire]

Alright, this is what I got:
Core card by itself, session loads, interface is detected, output from i/o is working.
Adding ANY card to the core, using a different flex cable each time, the error occurs.
So could this be a buggered core card?

[milesofwire]

Ok, it keeps getting weirder!
So now if I put in the core and the Accel cards in, and plug the interface into the Accel card, Pro Tools loads!
