im gonna stop posting
not trying to be a jerk
at this point I will assume fractal
people know about this issue

I would hope they do and would be nice if someone could confirm that they're aware of it.

I haven't experienced it anymore since the first time I uploaded the new firmware. Been great for me since.

However don't stop posting about it. Quietness never gets anything fixed!
 
Not trying to be a wise ass here, but has anyone that's had "no sound" issues actually re-installed the 9.02 firmware and DC's? Are they still getting no sound issues?
I only ask because both of my FM9's had been flawless for 4-5 gigs so far plus practices. I also may have just jinxed myself....
 
I just got FX3, FM9, VP4 current and FAS gives us even more better stuff in FX3 28.07. Now I wait for FM9 to get the improved FX3 stuff - again, not a complaint just "unit envy" 😁

I love FAS

Had them since 9.0 beta 2 just reinstalled 9.02 dynacabs presets and usb will see how it goes
intermittent issue
cant isolate the trigger very frustrating
but now feel obligated to post results

Since there will probably be an update soon for the occasional no sound issue at boot, I'm reporting another issue I found after the 9.02 update.

FC Controllers/Onboard Switches - If you reduce Bank Size to 1 in Config and then increase it back to 5, all the preset names for all the footswitches will be the same, and there's no way to get it back until you reboot.

I don't think this is a new issue...

Not sure if this is even on topic or will help, but I discovered that my USB cable connection on the side of my Temple Audio input was originally loose and prevented FM9-Edit from connecting directly to my FM9. I don't know how this was discovered, other than I reseated the USB jack firmly with the cable located on the side port. Since then, no issues. The reason the USB cable loosened up inside the port was because I'd brought my FM9 to a friend's for a jam session, and putting the Duo 24 back into position at home required a more solid connection.

Did you install any beta versions? If this is on going, I would do a full backup, a complete factory reset of the unit, RANF, reinstall latest FW, DCs, USB, new presets, RANF again.

Unit hasnt moved since 9.02 but will buy a new cable if problem persists

@Admin M@

In the last week I've had 3 separate boots with no sound. FM9 Edit was connected, and worked fine. I am using the xlr outs to my interface. The input led's showed input, but no sound.
Each time a reboot solved the issue.

Quite a few people have now reported similar issues, I just wanted to make sure you're aware. Thanks.

I had this happen once, I toggled the input block on and off in Fm9 Edit and it never happened again.
 
Booted up today with only out 2 connected.

Volume was extremely low and sound was very distorted. Volume knob on unit barely worked and was very very laggy.

Reboot fixed it.

All the units do this. It's not new behavior. When you reduce the bank size, the upper limit for bank related switches gets reduced along with it as needed because any bank number larger than the current bank size is no longer valid. When you increase the bank size, the lower values for upper limit are still valid so it does not change those. Preset Select in Bank switches are also updated when you reduce the bank size since they can't point to a preset number that doesn't exist in a bank. In other words, if bank size is set to 1, preset 2,3,4,... don't exist in that bank anymore so all the switches now point to preset 1 in the bank. You have to go to each Preset Select in bank switch and change the preset number back to the desired number within the new bank size.

Roodboy this question might not be relevant, but what percentage does your CPU show when you get no sound?
Could you go to an empty preset, and just make a simple amp and cab set to see if you get some sound?

They're not experiencing a cpu overload from the looks of it because the fix is to reboot and sound comes back. This has happened to quite a bit of people so far with this update and on fm3 as well. Doesn't seem to be an issue with axefx3 though from what i have seen. I've seen it in here and on facebook forums. I am sure FAS is aware of it and working on it :D

It happened to me once so far and I could move around and change presets and stuff but no sound would come out. The only fix was to reboot. Hasn't happened since though for me, so far.

I will give it a shot but it has happened in factory presets as well as my own which are monkey simple
idk if tuner on axe edit somehow has something to do with it as its the first and last thing I use
