Audio suddenly quits!

Postby seasiderecording » Sun May 25, 2014 1:27 am

While working my sound suddenly quit. no sound in or out. Meter bridge is frozen where it quit. The D8b is otherwise responsive. I can reboot and it works for between 20 seconds and 3 minutes then audio quits again. Are there any other ideas before I rip things apart and try the cable re-seating suggestion? http://www.sonido-7.com/d8b/maintenance.html#Post21
Thanks for any help. email is joel@joelkatzmaui.com


Sorry if I posted this twice, once adding to an old topic

No other option other than cable re-seating.... it will work don't worry.

Thank you for your help. Mahalo, as we say in Hawaii. I've been up and running without problems for 3 days after cleaning the suspect connectors. I tried cleaning others but the multi pin connectors were very stubborn and I didn't want to pull too hard. Is there some sort of tab release or special tool to release some of them?
