Hello! I hope everybody’s fine! I’m having this problem with dlive. Only one input channel receives audio (i can see it in the meter) but it doesn’t pass trough any output, not even AFL/PFL

I’ve checked the routing and it’s OK, we did a couple of shows and suddenly stopped working. If i use the same input in another channel it works fine. This happened in two different boards

What could be the cause?

Thanks!

An active insert with no assignment.

Most likely, it’s not an DCA or the turned off main bus assignment. But who knows…?  
It needs more weird settings to have the signal not appear in PAFL.

The console provides a lot of tools to troubleshoot such things. The Listen button, for example. You can follow the signal chain very easy with it.

And the problem with not assigned insert I already had sometimes in the past. Mostly with guest shows or scenes.

Thanks for the replies! It was indeed an digital insert going anywhere. I didn’t set up that insert so that’s a mistery on itself, but i’m working with a touring band with a lot of gigs and a couple of other engineers so it should be related to that

Thanks again!
