Troubleshooting
If you encounter a problem...
If you hear no sound or a strange sound, first check the items described below and take
appropriate action. If the problem persists, consult your Yamaha dealer.
■ No sound or very low volume level
• Are speakers or headphones connected correctly to the mLAN16E-equipped device?
• Are your amp and other external devices for the mLAN16E-equipped device turned on?
• Are all the level settings (of any tone generators, playback devices and the application itself)
appropriate?
• The connection cable from the external device to the mLAN16E-equipped device may be bro-
ken.
• Is the wordclock setting correct for both the mLAN16E and the external device(s)?
.......Refer to "Connecting a Computer to an mLAN device via mLAN" in the
Installation Guide, and "Wordclock Settings" in the mLAN Graphic Patchbay
Online Manual.
• (For Windows) Is mLAN (mLAN Driver) set to "ON"? From the task bar, right click on the
mLAN Manager (mLAN icon).
• Are the other settings of mLAN appropriate?
...................................... Refer to "Unable to communicate via mLAN (page 14)."
• If there are more than four devices (including a computer) on the network, the limit of the
IEEE1394 BUS bandwidth may be exceeded.
• The limit of the IEEE1394 BUS bandwidth may have been exceeded. Check the current band-
width using mLAN Graphic Patchbay, and disconnect some devices if necessary.
.......Refer to "Menu Bar" in the mLAN Graphic Patchbay Online Manual.
• If there is an mLAN device that supports only S200 on the mLAN network, the IEEE1394 BUS
bandwidth may be reduced and its limit exceeded. Reduce the number of mLAN devices con-
nected to the network, or disconnect some devices as necessary.
.......Refer to "Menu Bar" in the mLAN Graphic Patchbay Online Manual.
■ Distorted sound
• The connection cable from the external device may be broken.
• Is the wordclock setting correct for both the mLAN16E and the external device(s)?
.......Refer to "Connecting a Computer to an mLAN device via mLAN" in the
Installation Guide and "Wordclock Settings" in the mLAN Graphic Patchbay
Online Manual.
• Make sure audio data was recorded at an appropriate level.
■ Noise is audible
• Is the latency setting of the mLAN Driver appropriate?
.......Refer to "mLAN Driver Setup" and "ASIO mLAN Control Panel" in the Instal-
lation Guide.
• (For Windows) Setting Hyper Threading to off in the BIOS settings may solve the problem.
• Is the wordclock setting correct for both the mLAN16E and the external device(s)?
.......Refer to "Connecting a Computer to an mLAN device via mLAN" in the
Installation Guide and "Wordclock Settings" in the mLAN Graphic Patchbay
Online Manual.
• If the speed of your computer's hard disk is slow, problems may occur during recording and
playback.
