I've got a protools 10 HD system running off a Mac pro 5.1 into 2 Digidesign 192s which are loop synced to a Digidesign Sync. The first 192 is loop master and has 2 analog input cards, one analog output card and one digital output card. The second 192 has one analog input card, one digital input card, and two analog output cards.The second 192 is fed a short DigiLink cable from the first 192's extender port to its DigiLink input. This system ran great for several years until about 6 months ago when after about an hour or 2, the meters on the second 192 would begin to flash intermittently. Usually it's all 16 output meters that flash, but sometimes all the meters start flashing intermittently. I head a srackle, and then the outputs on the second 192 all stop working and remain dead until I reboot the system. I swapped the short DigiLink expansion cable, and even replaced the entire second 192 with another identical unit (with all different i/o cards), but the problem is still there. Thinking that it might be heat related, I separated the two 192 units, put perforated rack panels above and below them, and added a muffin fan between them in the rack box, but it still craps out after a few minutes. Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas? Here's a video of the whacky meters.
