Non Audio Playback Volume ERROR?

JonRaven · Aug 4th, 2004, 12:44 PM

Hello there Mac gurus!

I need help... I bought a hand made external firewire drive from a certain dealer in the toronto area and it had a few problems... but now when I try to record audio to the drive as a capture drive... I get a "not a audio playback volume" error. Does anyone know what this is... or how to fix it?

Thanks for your help... in a bind here.

By the way I am running a G4 powerbook 1.25 with a gig of ram and on OS10.3 with Pro Tools 6.x? and I have the ext. drive set as the scratch disc.

If using Pro Tools I sometimes will get that message when I have mounted a firewire drive while the computer is on. Rebooting with the drive attached should solve your problem.

Thank you "AL"

I will try that as soon as I get home.

Thanks for your help and I will cross my fingers hoping it works.

By the way... Have you ever had PT stop recording at like a 3 second point and give you a DAE error?

Once in awhile. It will stop and give me a DAE error ( i forget which). What will cause this is if you move an audio folder around in the finder that your session is referencing to (with the session still open), it will give you a DAE error.
Another reason could be a bad fade file. I simply trash fade files and restart the session to rebuild the files.

What is your particulare DAE error?
