24 I/O not seen by PCI or PCI-e

Post by monkeyboy1010 »

"He's dead Jim."

That is what I'm thinking. But if anyone has a bag of dried chicken bones I can shake over my 24 I/O to make it visible again, that would be great. ;)

I'm pretty sure the audiowire connection is not working on the 24 I/O. As I mentioned in the subject I have two cards, two systems I can use the 24 I/O with and neither will see it. I can get clock to it via my UA 2192, but if I turn that off, then it goes into clock searching mode, blinking 44.1.

If repair is the option, does anyone have a rough or exact $ amount for the repair with MOTU?

Thanks in advance,

Before pronouncing the corpse, try a known good firewire cable in place of the one you've been using.

Welcome to da Nation, dude. :D

Just reading your post with interest, as a 24I/O or two could be in my near future.
Sorry I've got nothin' for ya. :oops:

Thanks for the response, I had tried that along with the voltage switch being flipped back and forth. Still nothing. So I hope that MOTU can give me word on repairs for this unit.

Thanks again,

All went well... got a a replacement unit from MOTU and all is working fine. I have the PCI-e card setup in my MacPro and can use it from either OS (Mac 10.4.8 and XP Pro) Thanks for the prayers both human and primate. ;)

Cool! Great news at last for the young monkey. :D

It's a relief to see the Mac Pro running the 424e card and 24I/O just fine.
Now I know it can be done, and that sure helps.
The two most popular OSs, hey? Sounds cool. 8)
