d8b Forum

Thank you for your help. It seems that the Dio8 card that I had in #1 slot was bad. When I clocked to one of the other 2 cards it worked. Two of the channels on those cards of noise and distortion but others work.
Unfortunately I have a bigger problem now. I tried setting the monitor refresh rate to 60 as recommended by our media department so I could project the d8b on our wall screen with a projector in my classroom. The d8b keeps cycling on startup and never completes. any Ideas. I will post this as I new topic. I did a search already.

Video Monitor Refresh Rate for V5 and V5.1: Warning
Courtesy: SteveT


Do not attempt to change the Video monitor Refresh Rate under “Windows menu>Setup>Refresh Rate” if using O.S. V5 or V5.1.


This may incur a fatal crash that can only be rectified by a full format of your HD and re-installation of the OS.


Mackie report:
Issue #40: Changing the refresh rate has no effect.
Workaround: None. Do not change the refresh rate.


Some users have reported problems, others have not. Whatever, to change it makes no difference to the monitor’s appearance so it’s best left alone.


If you have not kept back-ups of all mixes etc. and this problem occurs, you will lose all of your data.
