Problem:
Your Echo hardware doesn’t seem to recognize the
synchronization clock to which it is connected.
Solution
: Although it may seem obvious, the first thing to check is that
there is a physical connection between the device generating the clock and
your Echo audio system. Just because multiple devices are connected to the
same computer doesn’t mean they are synchronized. Next, be sure that you
have selected the desired input clock source in the
Console
.
Problem:
Recordings made using the S/PDIF port contain occasional pops
or skips.
Solution
: When recording with the S/PDIF port, you must manually select
the S/PDIF clock as the input clock. This can be done using the
Console
.
Problem: (

)
You keep hearing a high-pitched
squealing sound or your S/PDIF or ADAT signal has gone crazy.
Solution
: Reset the sample rate of your Echo card. You may have set the
sample rate to 11kHz or 22kHz. Because neither S/PDIF nor ADAT
support these rates, you will have problems syncing until you reset the
sample rate to one within spec (like 44.1 or 48kHz). You can do this
through your ASIO program’s controls or by playing an audio file of the
appropriate sample rate through your Echo hardware’s outputs. Then you
will be able to sync properly.
Problem:
The sound cuts in and out, or the left or right channel doesn’t
work.
Solution
: You may have a bad audio cable. Try using a different cable in
the problem channel.
Problem:
There is no sound unless I pull the audio plug out a little.
