Ultralite mk3 Volume Knob not working
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...

Re: Ultralite mk3 Volume Knob not working

I talked to the motu tech, they said they had no idea and for me to send it in.

Re: Ultralite mk3 Volume Knob not working
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.

when i turn the knob it actually reacts, but it reacts very strange...

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.wo1 wrote:when i turn the knob it actually reacts, but it reacts very strange...

Re: Ultralite mk3 Volume Knob not working
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 !
