right, time to replace the offending card. there are occasions where a mix core or farm can fail. been there, done that, worn the t shirt.

here's one on sale. I was hoping to acquire it myself but as you're in more of a sticky situation and closer to it than me, here's the details.

I hope it helps you out.

by the way, if you're running a number of 888 or 882, etc, I advise running3 sync cables (wordclock) and use the USD unit as the driver for the interfaces. that way you're generating a steady sample clock throughout your interfaces. that's what I need to sort out soon for the replacement setup.

Just want to give a BIG thanks to all of you who made suggestions. I have finally gotten rid of the noise. I replaced the ribbon cable and I also have the two 888's connected via word clock now. Not sure what the problem was. The system is almost finished just gotta figure out how to use the USD with pro tools (I made a separate topic on that issue). You guys are awesome, I feel really good right now.  :)
