TOPIC:

Finally got the balanced miniDSP working but now the output level is not being shown but the amps lights are blinking and there is plenty of bass. It worked before with the unbalanced miniDSPs. Is this a known bug with the balanced miniDSP? I liked keeping an eye on that graph when in use.
I've checked all mute controls as well as levels. The sub is putting out quite a bit but nothing shows on either the input or output meters.

I have now tried reinstalling the software required by miniDSP, .NET etc., and changed graphics driver and the meters still don't work. I also checked to see if the software meters work with my other miniDSPs and they don't. I've also checked the system logs to see if there were any warnings re. the software and they dont!! I can live without the meters but this has become a puzzle which I feel compelled to solve.

heheh Theresa, you like to make your query heard.. 1 email to us, 2 posts here, 1 post on diyaudio , remember it was the week end over here, and we answer all queries no matters where they are posted..

Ok, not sure what could be the problem here but it's not a software bug since it works fine over here and on many other users.. let's start step by step:
- Are you sure to be synchronized (i.e. Green button in top right corner is not visible, mute input will mute all)
- What type of signal are you feeding to the miniDSP? When you say it doesn't display with my other miniDSP, I'm guessing that you know that it was showing meter before.. just want to make sure we're not feeding a signal so small that it's showing in the bottom part of the meter (i.e. not showing)
- Please check your Adobe Air version and Adobe Flash versions to make sure you're running at the latest version. Please go to: get.adobe.com/air/ and get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Install them to see if that solves the problem.

The problem you're having is most likely a software pb, rather than hardware. We'll find a solution but please let's keep to one location for communicating, i.e. this forum. since that's where we're now figuring the solution.

Yes, synchronized and working except for the meters.

I have it hooked up to the balanced sub output of my UMC-1, the other miniDSPs hooked up to L/C/R outputs of my UMC-1. Yes the meters worked just a couple of days ago with the unbalanced miniDSPs. My listening levels have not changed in the past week. They showed an input and output before.

Reinstalled all of those yesterday, no difference.

I hope so. I really like the miniDSPs. If nothing can fix it it's a problem I can easily live with. The meters are not essential to it's use.
Thank you for the response.

The meters are working again, probably because of some software updates, Adobe Air etc., that came out yesterday. Thank you for all your help.

Great to hear you're back on track Theresa!

Software updates are indeed typically the reason for such graphical issues.

Have fun,
