Dead Digi Mix Core?

[piratebruce]

A while since I've been in. Apart from the fact I should upgrade, the system usage window on the mix core card is labelling the 2nd dsp chip as " dead dsp", kinda disturbing.
can get no audio out though all else is normal. "Digi test" just crashes.

It wrecked a good night on the Chapman Stick, anyone seen this , is the card near dead?
Cheers

Bruce - Running a lot of systems, I've personally only had one card go bad and it wasn't a core card. I had a client that had all 3 cards of a HD2 go bad at once though. Ended up costing a LOT to get them replaced, although Digi did it. I think it's fairly unusual, but with electronics, $#@% happens. You need to give Digi a call asap and get them to give you a RA number so you can have it checked out.

Chapman Stick - FUN!!

the one time that happened, it cost me $375.00 to swap out the card.

Thanks Guys

Got up this morning and the card lives for the time being anyway. Ran the Digi Test utility and no problems now.
I guess it might be on the way out.

Luckily I've found a mix core is pretty cheap on eBay now compared to the $10K + it once cost, those were the days.
