Doc Justice Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hey everybody. I've been a daily visitor of this board for a long time now, but haven't contributed to any of the discussions until now. I've encountered a problem that I couldn't find any way around, so I'm looking to the community for some suggestions. I recently updated a 788t to 1.60 to use with a CL-8. After doing so, the audio going to camera, ifb, and my headphones sporadically became mutilated. I tried reinstalling the firmware, disconnecting the CL-8, everything I could think of. Then I found this on Sound Devices' website: --------------- Known Issues An intermittent condition can occur where audio at the headphone output and audio at an analog output are characterized at "tinny" at playback and monitoring. The recorded audio is not affected. The condition can be cleared by power cycling an input by turning its trim pot off then on. --------------- The problem seems to only happen after a few start & stops in recording. Turning the trim pot off then on during a take is not exactly an option. I found myself completely restarting the unit in between takes to try to avoid it, but that's not a solution either. How has this been a known issue since November and there has been no fix yet? Have any of you other 788 users experienced this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark LeBlanc Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Yep, I've had it happen a few times. The silver lining is the recorded audio is not affected. Turning the first pot on/off fixed the problem every time. A hassle, but feel confident they lick the problem... ML Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t.elder Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I've actually had the problem caused by turning a trim pot off and by simply turning the recorder on. I was disappointed that this problem wasn't fixed by the hardware upgrade but I am happy to hear that a future firmware update will fix it.
