Topic: fireface 400 no sound

since 2 weeks ago i have no audio while the meters shows full activity. This occurs after power up. Then after 5-10 minutes, I hear a weird static sci-fi type sound and audio resumes. Once audio resumes, it works fine until I shut down. Since some days every time I power up, I must wait 5-10 minutes before i get any audio out of my Fireface 400. But today i left my rme on for 48 hours (i was recording someone) and i have found my rme with all the lights red?!?, i've unplugged the power supply and re boot the card and my computer an d i have no sound ( And totalmix is showing that there is output)

I've tried different things:
- Different speakers / headphones
- Driver update
- Firmware update
- different computer
- Reset with totalmix

nothing…

i've seen that it's seems that a common problem with capacitors ? I've a good gear tech in my home town, do you think that i should give him my card to change the capacitors?which one ?

Sorry for my bad english

Re: fireface 400 no sound

Such an effect has nothing to do with the line output capacitors. I would try a new external power supply first.
