Here are some things to try if you experience this phenomenon:
Rebooting fixes many problems.
If you are clocking from an external word clock, try booting with your clock source off and then try booting with it on. Some d8bs like to boot with the word clock source on, others like it off (that is, they will only boot properly one way).
There may be a problem with your clock card. Try reseating it. With the power off, pull it out and put it back in again. It may be a good idea to clean the contacts with an eraser.
If you have access to another clock card, try using it instead. For instance if you use the Apogee word clock card, but still have the stock (internal only) card, see if it works with the stock card. If the stock card works, it could be an indication that the Apogee card has a fault.
Finally, you may have to have a service center look at it. Check with Mackie tech support first, just in case they have other tricks for you to try.
I did as suggested here. The next step is to try another Apogee card or the original stock Clock card. Do you happen to have either available? My source on the other coast may have something.
