Lost analog audio output from Kona 3…again
Hi All.
Back in February I lost the analog audio output from my Kona 3 boaed via the K-box. I fixed it with the suggestion from Arnie to Zap the P-RAM on the computer. It worked. A few months ago, I lost the audio again. Zapping the P-RAM fixed it again.
Now today I was working on an HD project monitoring thru the Kona and all was well. I popped into a different project for a few minutes when a producer cam into the edit room with a question. When I closed out of that project and went back to the HD project…no audio from the Kona. I’ve zapped the P-RAM again (three times actually) to no avail. I can’t get the audio back. I’ve made sure that it wasn’t something stupid like accidentally muting the outputs on in the audio mixer window.
Even when I quit out of FCP and put an SDI signal with embedded audio into the Kona input with the Kona control panel open, I’m getting video but no audio from the board. The cables to the K-box seem to be on tight and OK. The input SDI signal to the Kona is good, the input to the mixer is good and the mixer itself passes a signal when I put another source into the mixer inputs. The cables from the Kona to the mixer are also good. About the only thing I haven’t tried is to actually pull the Kona card out and reseat it in the computer.
Any more suggestions?
Thanks

Fourth time was the ticket.
I actually unplugged the computer from the mains and let it sit for a few minutes to “rest” without any power going to the system. When I booted it back up, the Kona was now passing audio from the SDI input. I fired up my project in FCP and it’s now working just fine.
Just wish I could isolate the reason why the Kona just suddenly stops passing audio. It’s happened several times now…
I’m just happy it’s working again.

Is your Kona in the right slot and you have the proper PCIe slot configuration selected?
Have you called AJA about this?
