Re: my first problem with ff 400

Seems like clocking trouble. Do you have some other device connected to ADAT, SPDIF or Word Clock? What setting is used for "Clock Mode" in the Fireface settings application?

by the way now theres no sound at all and the ff mixer doesnt show any signal
theres a light vibration on SIG Mic/line input 1

Re: my first problem with ff 400

You need to make sure that, in Fireface Settings, Clock Mode is set to Master so that it runs off the internal clock.

Re: my first problem with ff 400

Have you read the FF manual, which explains clock/sync settings? If not, please do so. If you then have specific questions, do let us know.

Re: my first problem with ff 400

Could be a defective power source. Is it the same only with the firewire cable connected?

Fireface 400 + DIGI96/8 PAD. It's old but works.
