Re: Help! Problem with digital output of DEQ 2496

Normally when the DEQ is getting a 44.1Khz signal from a transport it will show 44.1Khz in the window that now says unclocked. Have you tried to generate pink noise from the unit? If not then try this. Select pink noise and accept. Then the sample rate window will default to 96kHz. If your DAC accepts this then adjust the level of the noise gain until you hear something. If not then adjust the sample rate of the pink noise to 48 or 44.1 Khz. If you have sound now then you know the digital output is working ok.

You say when you send signal from your transport to the DEQ that the green level meters are reporting signal? Does the sample rate window stay unclocked when this happens (I remember you said the screen shot was with nothing hooked up so unclocked makes sense in that case)? If it reads a value, what is that value (32, 44.1, 48, 96)?

Are you sure that you are not plugged into the microphone/RTA input instead of the digital input?
