I´m on a Mac DP 2 ghz PPC, OSX 10.4.11, running Logic 8

Installed the driver without the mixer connected. Restarted, powered up the mixer and plugged in the firewire.
My G5 sees the Zed in Systempref>Sound. I tick the In and Out for the Zed R-16.
Open up Audio/Midi Setup and things start to happen. Deafault Input says Built-In Audio. I can´t change it to Zed R 16. (The Mixer is in Firewire Mode on the back of the unit and it is set to 44.100)
Properties For is set to Zed R-16. Default Out and System Out is set to Built- In Audio. I cant change it.

On the Zeddice Control Panel everything is set as normal as i can see. 44.1khz, Operation Mode : Normal, Sync Source: Internal ( is that right?)
Status: Normal.

When i try to change the Sample Rate in the Zeddice Contrl Panel, things start to happen in the Audio Midi Setup-window. All the things that used to be set to Built-In Audio, is now set to Zed R-16.When I change it back to 44.1 it goes back to "normal" again.

Whats going on?

After many trys with the Sample Rate Settings it Locked on 44.1 khz, but it lost the connection every 5 sec.

I have my monitors hooked up through the CRM Outs. I get sound when I test the channels with a SM58. I dont get sound from the Audio Midi Setup Confi.Speakers even though System Out ect is set. If I open up iTunes to see if there is any sound from the computer, nothing happens. Should there be sound when System Output is set to Zed R-16?

I have uninstalled the driver and then reinstalled to see if that helped.

Hopefully someone can help me out with this. Maybe I have done something stupid?
This is my first mixer/centerpiece. And can´t wait to get it to work as it should
I replaced my Fireface 800 for the Zed R-16.






Hi eltervaag,
Firstly let's get iTunes set up & playing through channels 17 & 18 (the Digital stereo L-R channels back to the ZED-R16) so you can route them to your monitors with the switch just above the headphone socket.
Please try the procedure attached and let me know if this works as expected.
After this, we'll get set up with Logic.
Send me a private message if you need very a quick response, and also copy it to out Tech Support at http://allen-heath.helpserve.com
Kind regards,
Mike.
