Topic: Fireface UCX Host LED Flashing

We recently got this unit from one o the other departments at our school. I installed both the firewire and USB drivers and the TotalMix app. We can see signal coming into the UCX's inputs in TotalMix but cannot monitor the sound from any of the analog outputs or the headphones. Logic sees the unit but will record no incoming audio from it. Playing back previously recorded audio in Logic also gives no sound from the outputs, although the signal does show up in TotalMix.

The only thing I can find is that the red Host LED blinks constantly, whether the unit is plugged into the computer or not.

Does this mean the unit is just dead?

Thanks,

Dave

The UCX power supply might be defective.

What types of power supplies could we use to test this? Would we need to buy another one from RME or would something else work?

Thanks.

Anything works that spits out +12 V inner contact with at least 1 Ampere.
