Topic: Fireface 800 has no sound (Red 'Host' light is on).

My Fireface 800 stopped working today, and I can not get it up and running. I've checked the power, Firewire 800 cables, Firewire ports, rebooted computer, updated to the newest driver, and still can't get any sound from my unit. There is a Red (Host Light) that will not go off, and like I said earlier, this has never happened in the 5 or so years I've had the unit. I'm new to this forum, so if this issue has already come up and been resolved, would someone please direct me to it. I've got a recording session coming up in two weeks, and desperately need to get this issue resolved. If anyone has had this happen to them, and has a solution, please respond to this thread, or contact me directly.


Thank you,

Same thing happened to me today. Changeing from FW800 to FW400 solved it for me, but I'd like to know why...
