funny thing is (although i'm not laughing :shock: ) i stumbled upon this board while trying to find a solution to the same exact problem... although i am using the 828 MK3 with nuendo 2, i have the same issue that you have with audio not recording while playback and everything (pre-recorded audio, ...

This is an interesting scenario, and it has me stumped; which is why I turn to the fantastic, collective minds of this forum! Here is the story. I just upgraded to the 828mk3 from the original 896. In the interim, I used a presonus firebox I had lying around which worked fairly well for single input...

I have a similar story and unfortunately, it ends the same way haha. When I started reading your original post, it sounded alll too familiar, except my story involved vista. I have the original 896 after many years and many dead channels (4 to be exact) it has hung in there. I have been using the 89...

good info. Thanks alot I think my best option will be, like u said, to get an 8x8 light pipe of sorts and use the 5 remaining inputs. I will have to look into it more to see what the best option will be for me, but thanks again for the info. I really appreciate it!

I bought my 896 (non HD) second hand, so its not under warranty, and the unit was working fine up until a few days ago when all of...

well atleast I know I am not alone! Did you attempt to fix the problem? or are you just gonna give up? cause I haven't decided what I am gonna do yet. I just bought some contact cleaner today, so I will try that. I will let you know what happens. I just dont want to spend anymore money haha

Granted, this post might be 5 months too late, but I am having the EXACT same problem! I have the non HD 896 and it was working fine about a week ago (i.e. all the inputs were working) yesterady I lost channel 8, then 4 went dead, and now 1 is dead, but if i rotate the trim knob i get a crackling li...
