Edited: what causes a dca fader to be full on or full off when you go above or below 0 ? ---

What? It is really not clear what the problem is. ---

When you move the fader to just above zero it goes instantly to plus 10db (full on). When you move the fader to just below zero it goes to minus infinity (full off). Only the DCA’s are behaving in this manner. ---

Could it possibly be related to the activation of this option? ![avdca](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/allenheathdigitalcommunity/original/2X/6/64f747a584eebb2e1e12afd00741c4b6fd3459f9.jpeg) ---

The setting will fix the DCA at 0dB. Never heard of the behavior mentioned above. ---

Hello, that’s odd… it seems to work like the shortcut (reset button + move the desired fader) which allows you to quickly set a fader to -infinity or 0 dB… ---

I would be curious if a reboot make this problem go away. Hopefully it does. I’d also double check just to make sure that the reset button hasn’t gotten “stuck” somehow in the pressed position. ---

My first thought was a stuck reset button as well, but surely if that was the case, it would affect **ALL** faders, and not just the DCAs???
