Audio Problems
Problems with audio can usually be isolated between the Audio Signal Processing
Board (ASPB) and either:
• The AES/EBU XLR216/BNC216 Breakout panel for digital audio, or
• The Profile Audio Chassis (PAC208/216) for analog audio and the Digital
Expansion Chassis included with the PAC216, or
• The Serial I/O board for embedded audio.
