luvdunhill Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 It's regular (frequent) but doesn't seem to follow a pattern. I always hear a click within 2 seconds, many times more often in that 2 second window. I don't get the same clicks with the Ethernet connection. I can swap back and forth with the same source and it's only on USB. I don't see them on the front panel. I could look at the PSU, how did you pry it open?

jp11801 Posted March 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 I preferred the Ethernet connection to the usb for sound and stability. I know they were working on the usb but had the Ethernet pretty much nailed last I spoke with MH a few months back. im actually simplifying my rig and will be selling my ULN8 after ten years or so of service. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironbut Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 If you aren't getting the clicks with MHLink (ethernet) than it isn't the power supply. If you ever want to open it, there are screws beneath the rubber feet (on mine there are 2). Then pry it open on the iec end. You should submit a ticket on Metric Halo's support page (in the Help menu). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp11801 Posted March 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 when I had initial issues MH was fantastic with phone support, even called me after-hours to get me up and running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironbut Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 One thing that you might try first is simplifying your usb connection. It seems like the more stuff a cable/adapter tries to do, the more issues it can have ( I went through some Thunderbolt cable nightmares myself).

ironbut Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Also, the number of channels is maxed at 12. Try decreasing it to 4 in 4 out. (right click the interface icon in the inspector). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) I'm just using a USB-C to USB-A cable, no converters. When I change it to 4 in, 4 out it goes crazy and sounds like wrong sampling rate is being used. 8 in, 8 out sounds the same as 12/12 (clicking). Is there a place to configure the max bits per sample (16-bit or 24-bit)? Edited March 1, 2020 by luvdunhill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironbut Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 I can't recall a way to change the bit rate. I'd go ahead and submit a ticket to MH. It is still a beta release so it maybe something that needs to be addressed on the next public beta. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Did a lot of messing around and this seems isolated to Linux. I am thinking about trying Windows just for fun, but this is big bummer for me. I will file a ticket and see if they will work with me to fix the issue, but almost assuredly this is a driver issue.

luvdunhill Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Meh, the Windows 10 UAC2 driver isn't picking it up. Just get the yellow triangle under Device Manager. I just opened a Support Ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironbut Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Metric Halo is a small company (mostly family run) so they have a lot of personal pride in what they do. If they say that 3D supports Linux, I'm sure they'll get it working. They do rely on feedback from end users and the number folks running Linux are probably very few. So, don't be shy and expect someone else to have already called attention to this problem. If you have a spare afternoon, there's a "Stax Thread" sized thread regarding 3D on GearSlutz. Mostly studio centric talk, but GearSlutz has a decent "search this thread" feature to cut down on the noise. https://www.gearslutz.com/board/music-computers/1219789-metric-halo-3d-here.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 Well, I have a lot to report but first, how can I get Roon Bridge to run without a user logged into Mac OSX? that’s my last step to solve. Oh and the heat. It’s always the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
