Thanks for the help Paul. Today I opened up the same session, again with distortion happening. First thing that I noticed, is that the "Allow clock change if active" option was unchecked on both AES16e cards in the lynx mixer. Why is this not saving? Maybe since we reset the mixer last night? Anyway, I reselected them and quit Pro Tools. I deleted the PT Aggregate and re launched PT. It seems to have cleaned things up now. I have a short vocal tracking session and I will see how it responds.

A little update on distortion/ ring modulated sync dropouts....I am still getting them. Works fine sometimes and drops out at others. I'm at a loss here.

Paul is at the AES show until Monday. Please let me know what firmware you are currently using.

Hi David. AES 16e's are both at firmware 14, both auroras are at firmware 28. Lynx mixer 1.0 build 58, driver version 1 build 58. OS X 10.9.5

I would recommend dropping back to firmware 13.2 on both of the AES16e's and see if that helps.

Ok David, I down graded firmware to 13.2 on bothe aes16e's I have sessions all day today so we will see how it reacts. Thanks.

OK, so reporting back, After down grading to firmware 13.2 on the AES!6e's, it seems to have changed some things. It now is giving me the random cpu error, but without any ring modulated distortion accompanying it. Is it possible that the first firmware 14 upgrade was an incomplete install? Should I try to upgrade to it again?

There is no way to do an 'incomplete install' of firmware. It either is done successfully, or it fails and the card won't boot.
Seems like it would be best to just call Paul @ 714-545-4700 x 206 and have him go over a few things to make sure everything is setup correctly.

Thanks David, I had Paul do a team viewer to double check my setup a few months ago, and it seemed everything was setup correctly. I have recently noticed that when I change sample rates and weirdness was happening, My syncroclock light is flashing on my second Aurora ( like it is trying to sync again) but it isn't showing being unlocked in the Lynx mixer on AES16e card to that Aurora. Could this be a clue?

I also got ring modulation distortion after switching sample rates on firmware 13.2. It does seem more stable when not switching sample rates. Once I get it to sync it seems to stay a little better than on firmware 14. However v14 didn't give me the cpu error alert.

Hi, I was looking at your clocking setup: 2 x Lynx aes16e cards (set to receive sync from Digital 8) 1 x Aurora 16, 1 x Aurora8 (set to receive sync via external bnc cables) 1 x UA 2192 connected via digital 8 on AES 16e ( sync set to internal and sending sync via bnc to Auroras)
I am assuming that the UA2192 is connected to Port B of one of the AES16e cards (with Aurora 8 on Port A)?
What is the Sync Source of the other AES16e set to?

Honestly I can't remember completely as I have been trying multiple clock master settings to no avail. I had the UA2192 connected to the AES xlr connectors that showed up on channels 31 ( digital channel 8 on the 2nd AES cable) I have since added a header sync cable, and have been trying to lose the idea of having the master clock be the 2192 now, to just get a stable setup. Now I am using AES16e 1 as master, AES 16e 2 set to Header, Bothe Lynx's set to AES A, and 2192 set to bnc/ word clock from the clock cable headed to the AES16e 1 card. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks

That looks like a good setup....How are the results?

Well, it sometimes works when NOT changing sample rates on different sessions. With firmware 13.2 I am back getting buffer under run errors. If I change sample rates I get distortion / ring modulation on audio. I then have to quit pro tools and open Lynx mixer, switch sync on second Aes 16e, from header to digital, and back to header. This seems to send second Aurora into searching and relocking syncrolock. This sometimes works and I can continue. Still not ideal.

While I was reading the Aurora manual I noticed that the Aes sync "grabs sync from first available sync source from digital connection". I did have my UA 2192 in the last (digital 8 aes) position, and an Eventide Orville before it. Maybe this was causing some chaos. I still have these units connected via aes, however I'm pretty sure I've tried it with both of them disconnected also.

Very odd. And you have "Drift" turned off for both devices in the aggregate device in Audio MIDI Setup?
When the sample rate change induced ring modulation thing happens, could you go to the Console for OSX (under Utilities). Look at the system log and do a search for: >>. This will bring up messages from the Lynx driver.
The entries are time stamped. Copy and paste the ones from around the time of the problem and email them to me at support@lynxstudio.com. Thanks

Thanks Paul, Yes Drift is unchecked. I emailed an error code just now. I wasn't getting ring modulation distortion, but was getting error codes about playback buffer.
