DM 3200 no sound!

[Chris Tsagakis]

Hi, I have a DM 3200 which has worked fine for years, but the other day I opened up a session I was working on and no sound was coming out of the monitors. Additionally, putting an instrument or Mic into any of the inputs won't make the meters move at all. I seem to have no input or output right now. I'm using ProTools 10, playback Engine is set to IF-FW/DM mkll which is what it has always been set to. I also checked to make sure I had the same settings for sound I/O on the computer. Any suggestions for what might be wrong? Thank you.

Forget the computer for now. What does your input screen look like? First troubleshoot why you can't use the DM as a standalone mixer. Are there any error messages on LCD screen? Lights blinking? Do you have this issue with all clock settings?

Hey cmaffia, thanks for your reply. So I powered up everything this morning and now all of a sudden it's all working again. I still have no idea what the problem was. I was getting no signal through any of the mic or line inputs, the meters weren't moving at all on individual tracks or the main stereo bus meter. I tried plugging in a variety of mics, cables, and instruments, no signal whatsoever. I did have someone suggest to me a problem with the clock, could that have been it? Perhaps somehow it reset itself? I don't know, I would still like to figure out the problem so I know what to do if this happens again.

Only thing I can think of is a glitch with DSP daughter board possibly. May want to remove, blowout the connector and reseat. Other than that there's nothing really to point to since you say there was no error message. Are you clocking externally or is everything internal to DM?
