First off, sorry about the image quality. I had to compress it quite a bit to upload it.

Anyway, what is up with my inputs? The meters are all the way up to the very top! But here's the thing...my breakout box is turned off. When I turn it on, the meters go down to the bottom. I don't have anything plugged into the inputs except for a VTB-1 in input 1.

So...what gives? Will this hurt it?
 
Yeah, that helps. haha

But why would they go all the way down to normal when I switch the unit on?
The meters tell one story but the numbers tell another (-144).
 
Does it work like normal otherwise? Mayeb just a software thing? Did you update drivers recently / anything change recently??
 
Yeah, everything works fine. I posted this on another forum as well and someone who used to own one experienced the same issues. He said that it won't hurt anything and to just ignore it if I could. If not, just power on the Delta whenever I'm using the computer.

I voted for the ignore. As long as it doesn't hurt anything, I don't care.
 
you say it works fine when you switch it on.....

from that I'm guessing you have the power cord pulled in that picture....therefore the computer is LOOKING for the breakout box on the end of the breakout cable.

You shouldn't ever turn it off like that. Just let it power up when the computer boots up. See the sticker next to the breakout cable on the back of the breakout box? it says never dissconect when the unit is on....with the power disconected on the breakout box the computer thinks it's been removed.

Get it?


It's not a fault
 
It looks like there's a band ... in a parallel universe ... who have punched a hole in the time-space continuum, and have managed to tap in to your computer to record themselves every time you remove your plug.

And they're really, really LOUD.

Either that or they have no clue as to the negative artifacts associated with digital clipping. Or spookier yet ... maybe in their universe, they like digital clipping. Wouldn't that be weird?
 
Try reinstalling the software. I had a problem I posted a week or two ago on here no one answered where channels 3/4 died -- no sound whatsoever. So eventually I reinstalled it and it was as good as new.

I'm not really turning it off. It's off when I fire up the computer. If I need it, I turn it on and then I turn on my monitors. What does it make a difference if the breakout box is on or not? If there were a problem, I wouldn't be able to access anything sound related when the breakout box was on. But, I have no issues other than no sound when the breakout box is off (for obvious reasons). I think that sticker on the back is more for people who pull the breakout cable when sound is actually running. If the computer "thought" it had been removed, I wouldn't even have the sound card in my list and I wouldn't get signal on the outputs even if it were off.

:eek: :D Nice...

They must be really good too because there's no space being taken up on my hard drive. Maybe data is just captured in thin air in that parallel universe?
 
Looks like a feedback loop happening there somewhere. If it's a feedback loop, it might just be a matter of time before it gives up the ghost.

Dos this happen even when your recording application is turned off?

If it only happens after your application is running, do you have a monitor setting enabled?

What does your Patchbay/Router look like?

Isolate your interface from the outside world...no connections in or out.

Also have a look at your computer audio setting (on board audio and or SB Audigy card(s) if you have them). Disable all the audio sources you can find.

Is there a possibility you have something wired up incorrectly?
 
do you have another audio device? like an onboard audio card that is still enabled?

?

My 1010 breakout box doesn't have an on/off switch, kinda wish it did though.

I have mine on a power conditioner so that's my on/off switch.
