Hello,
I was wondering if this was normal behavior with the flex 8 unit.  If the unit is muted or the source signal is muted/OFF then there is a click on the DAC outputs.  This is really annoying to hear.  If possible can this be fixed with a software or firmware update?  Happens with USB or Toslink input.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi All,
The new firmware seemed to work for me.  The MUTE clocking and NIL input clicking are now gone.  Much much better.  Thanks DevTeam for the quick response!
Cheers,
Mike

Hi,
What firmware version are you running?
I updated mine to 1.6 for the DSP and 1.50 for the XMOS and I still have clicks on low level signals.

Hi,
The console has been updated with firmware 1.52.  Version 1.50 still has the clicks.  Seemed to lag a bit before asking to update to the new firmware though.  I'm running 1.52.  I'd watch clicking the reset button on the presets with the amps on though.  Had a very loud pop when finishing the reset.  Maybe it's fixed but not something I want to test and verify!

Thanks.
You mean xmos firmare right?
Mine is definitly at 1.50, and the console software does not show me any newer version, although the software itself did check for update today (1.0.0 alpha 7)
I guess I will have to wait then :D

That is strange.  Yesterday I think the 1.52 XMOS was up.  If you want I can send you the version in my folder.  Send me a PM on diyaudio "mlee".

Thanks for the kind offer!
I will wait a bit and see how things go, and will only bother you if I am still stuck with 1.50 in the coming days.

@Pos

The issue is because you're using one of the Alpha builds that was released to beta testers. :-) 
You need to upgrade to the real builds to get all the latest upgrades. Please uninstall miniDSP DC Alpha version. 

Go to your Flex Eight user downloads to grab the correct build. It will automatically upgrade from there on both Firmware/software. 

Both the mute clicks and restore to default have been solved indeed with XMOS 1.52.
