Solution

: Although it may seem obvious, the first thing to check is that

there is a physical connection between the device generating the clock and

Mia’s digital connector. Just because multiple devices are connected to the

same computer doesn’t mean they are synchronized. Next, be sure that you

have selected the Digital input clock source in the Mia

Echo Console

Problem:

Recordings made using the S/PDIF port contain occasional pops

or skips.

Solution

: When recording with the S/PDIF port, you must manually select

the Digital clock as the input clock. This can be done using the Mia

Echo

Console

Problem:

On Windows startup you hear a high pitched squealing sound or

your S/PDIF signal has gone crazy.

Solution

: Reset the sample rate of Mia. Windows always sets the sample

rate to 11kHz at startup. Because S/PDIF doesn’t support this rate, you will

have problems syncing until you reset Mia’s sample rate to one within spec

(like 44.1 or 48kHZ). You can do this by playing a wave file of the

appropriate sample rate through Mia’s outputs or by locking the sample rate

in the

Preferences

page of the Mia Console. Then you will be able to sync

properly.

Problem:

I installed my older Echo card (Layla, Gina, Darla, Darla24) and

it messed up my Mia installation.

Solution

: The old drivers (5.02 or earlier) for those cards will mess up a

Mia install. Just uninstall Mia, then install the older card and reinstall Mia.

You will be fine if you always install the older card first, then the newer

one. We have fixed this problem with driver versions 5.04 and later.

Problem:

The sound cuts in and out, or the left or right channel doesn’t

work.
