Known Issues

AudioBox VSL currently has the following known issues, with workarounds also listed:

AudioBox 1818VSL ONLY

• ASIO/Core Audio driver labels reversed

  Occasionally, the ADAT labels will be reversed with the S/PDIF labels so that streams 9/10 are labeled ADAT 1 and ADAT 2, and streams 17/18 are labeled S/PDIF L and S/PDIF R. Please note that this is a mislabel only; the streams are correctly routed.

  Workaround: To resolve this issue, power cycle the unit and reselect the driver in your DAW. This problem is intermittent.

• External Sync Indication incorrect (ADAT ONLY)

  When clocking the AudioBox 1818VSL externally via ADAT, the Sync Light on the front panel of the unit will show correct sync as soon as a source is detected on the ADAT input, even if that source and the AudioBox 1818VSL are set to different sample rates.

  Workaround: If you experience distorted audio while clocking your AudioBox 1818VSL externally via ADAT, verify that both your external clocking device and your AudioBox are set to the same sample rate.

AudioBox VSL Software

• Phase button on FX Buses and Aux Outputs

  This button engages/disengages on FX Buses A/B and Aux Outputs (44VSL and 1818VSL). However, this is a GUI issue only; phase is not being reversed on these buses. This button will be disabled in the next release.

• Link Button Tool Tip Not Available on OS X

  The tool tip for the Link Button is not available on OS X.

• Computer cannot shut down or restart while AudioBox VSL is open

  Workaround: Close AudioBox VSL before power cycling your computer.
