Kernel panic leads to no input monitoring RESOLVED

[JZilla]

Hi folks. The other day I was in the middle of working on a project and had a kernel panic crash (grey screen of death). Once I rebooted, I wasn't able to open the project again, I got this message "An error occurred while reading from the disk. The file ........ was not loaded. MacOS error: Unexpected end of file (-39)" Not the end of the world, as I had an autosaved version from ten minutes before.

When opening or creating another project however, it looks like something's gone wrong with my preferences, since the color scheme has reverted to default, my recent projects were missing, my audio file format settings were back to default, etc.

The big problem seems to be that I can't get the input monitoring happening. I usually have my projects set up with aux busses feeding stems to stereo tracks with the input monitoring enabled. At this point I can feed audio through them, but I'm not able to hear anything, even when recording. I've tried all the settings in the Audio Patch Thru menu, and my assignments in the Bundles window appear to be fine. I've also tried trashing the com.motu.DigitalPerformer.plist, which didn't do anything.

I'm stumped, anyone have any ideas?

I'm using DP 7.24 in 10.6.8 with a 2408mk3.

Also trash the MOTU Audio System Prefs found in user>Library>Preferences>Digital Performer/ Maybe that will help, maybe not.

Yup, tried it, nothing different. It's in the hands of Tech Support now.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

What about the input monitoring mode under Setup > Configure Audio System? Doesn't this have to be set to monitor record-enabled tracks to hear busses on live patch through?

Thanks for the reply. It's pretty possible that that was the problem. I'd just uninstalled and reinstalled everything before seeing your post, I went in and enabled "monitor audio through effects" (or however that option was worded), and it all works again.
