Ultralite mk3 Volume Knob not working

Post by mmikhjian »

The volume knob wont turn the volume up or down. I can click and switch between master and phon vol. but twisting = no volume change.

i did a hard reset and everything, im afraid its a hardware issue...

If you turn the knob and nothing happens (but everything else appears to work normally), then the encoder is probably faulty and needs to be replaced.
The leading cause of wrong answers is asking the wrong questions.

Something tells me that MOTU tech support doesn't trawl YouTube for videos of broken hardware. Well, maybe they do. Perhaps you should give them a call.

Same here. I love my ULmk3 and love that with lion the OS volume is active at last.
Everything was fine until now - the VOL knob dial does not get recognized.
That is totally strange , as a matter of fact - i haven't turned it on and it wasn't even connected to any power source or anything at all for the past 3-4 weeks ?!
I do care for all my gear and also tried to resolve the problem via hard reset - no change.

Now the phones output rendered useless :(
MOTU please do something !
