Yeah, I was expecting that, I was 99% certain it is your board and not the pc.
Check with the manufacturer to see about warranty, see what they say.

Okay, yes, tried another computer, same thing. Nothing else was connected to
the computer and nothing was plugged in to the board when it malfunctioned. I
am not using ground lifts, and am not sure what brand of surge protector I am
using. The board, moniter,computer, and my sub speakers are plugged in to that
same protector and they are all fine.
I am going to talk to the people at harmon today to see what they say.
I want to thank you guys for all of your kind advice. I am learning a lot.

Hey Terry, as I suspected in the end it might be the board after allPLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
like DJx and I are telling you, If you want to be absolutely sure that
its not the board, then the only other trouble shooting step I can
think about is to simply plug the board in to another computer system.
However at this point I like DJX am leaning more towards the USB port
chipset.
As for the power supply cable that is indeed the only thing that you
need to do is to simply plug in this cable, and no need to worry about
any switches.
I’m not sure why Soundcraft elected to eliminate the switch, probably
to save a few sense lol.
My presonus ar 16 channel actually has a power switch, and so far I
really like this board too.
I have both in my rig, and am testing the both for Dancingdots for our
customers, and thus far both boards work telly well.
The build and quality of these two boards are just fantastic, however
that doesn’t mean to say that they don’t malfunction unfortunately.
Do keep us in the loop. On Oct 3, 2018, at 10:55 AM, Terry Taillon

Djx, okay first, there's no power button on the soundcraft. I've
never seen anything quite like this, but it just has a power cord,
(underneath the unit), and when it's plugged in, the board is on.
Yes, I can connect a mic and my guitar and play while the usb is
unconnected and everything sounds just fine. The very moment I
connect the usb cable it starts trying to turn it's self on over and
over again. It makes the notification tone that usually signifies a
successful connection, but I can't do anything because it just keeps
trying to turn it's self on over and over again. The really weird
thing is that no one was anywhere near it when this started happening.
As I said, I was eating lunch and heard it happen. At the moment,
I've got a cord going from the headphone jack on the pc to a channel
on the board so that I can get sound out of my speakers. I have a
sighted friend coming over this afternoon, and I will ask her to look
at the lights on the board.
Also, I have put a thumb drive in each of the pc's usb ports and
everything seems to work fine there, so it's got to be in this board
somewhere right?
I am not experiencing any issues with my pc in any other way.

Hi, quick question: can you get somebody with site to look at the board?PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
Check the difference (if any) when the board is on and not plugged
in, and then plug it in (leave it on), and have them watch the
board. Any lights come on/off? Anything starts blinking?
Also, if you unplug USB and run the board, you said it runs fine.
What happens if you run sound through some of the channels, and then
plug in the USB. What happens to the sound?
The items I mentioned (USB chipset, USB EC etc) are on both the pC
and the Soundcraft. But I was mainly referring to the Soundcraft, as
if these were a problem on the PC side, you would have noticed it
already when using other USB equipment.

Djx, Yes, I am using a surge protector for all of my equipment. I
have been using the soundcraft as the entire sound for my computer
as well as for recording. The system was on and running fine. I had
been doing some recording and decided to take a lunch break. While
eating lunch, I kept hearing a strange sound coming from my studio.
When I ran in there, the board was constantly trying to turn it's
self on and the behavior has continued ever since. No one was
anywhere near the system when it started to malfunction. These items
that you mentioned in your last note, are they in my computer or in
the soundcraft board? Please forgive me, as I'm a bit of a dummy
when it comes to this technology.
I'm just trying to determine if the problem is in my board or the
computer.
I've got a friend coming over today to connect it to a diferent
computer, and we'll see what happens there.
Thanks for all of your advice.

Either that or the USB EC (embedded controller).
When and how did this start happening? Are you running all your
equipment on power conditioners? Or at least true surge protectors
at the minimum?

Djx, when I connect the usb cable from the board to my computer, it
continually tries to turn it's self on. I keep hearing the double
tone that signifies a successful installation, but it just keeps
doing that over and over again. Without any usb connection, I can
plug a mic or guitar or my keyboard in to any channel on the
soundcraft, and it works perfectly fine. I can use the eq and all
the effects and everything. I just can't seem to connect the usb so
that I can use the board in sonar. I have tried several cables,
power cords and diferent usb ports on the computer. All with no
change in behavior. Mike and I have considered several diferent
senarios, and are leaning now toward a problem with the power
supply inside the soundcraft. I really love this board, and hope I
can get it fixed, as I really can't afford a new one. I am wondering where
to find the cerial number on this board?
I'm going to call soundcraft tec support today and see what I can
determine.
I have put a thumb drive in all usb ports and they work just fine.
I've got a friend coming over with a laptop and we'll try to
connect the board to that and see what happens.

Okay list, I have tried a thumb drive in all of my usb ports and
they work just fine. My computer is working normally and the clock
is keeping time. It's looking like the issue is in the board's
power supply. Can this be fixed or do I need another board?
