What to do if my Apollo unit won't power on?
If your Apollo unit won't power on, check the power supply connections at both the power supply input and the back of the unit. Ensure the power switch is not in the “OFF” position. Also, confirm that AC power is available at the wall socket by plugging in a different device.
How to fix no monitor output on my Apollo device?
To resolve the issue of no monitor output on your Apollo device: * Check that the UAD Powered Plug-Ins software is properly installed and configured. * Verify the connections, power, and volume of your monitoring system. * Make sure the monitor knob is turned up. * Confirm the monitor outputs are not muted by pushing the monitor knob (green indicates not muted, red indicates muted). * Check that the monitor level meter LEDs are active to ensure signal flows.
Why is the HOST indicator not lit on my Apollo device?
If the HOST indicator on your Apollo device is not lit, verify the FireWire or Thunderbolt connections. Confirm that the Apollo 16 software (UAD Powered Plug-Ins) is installed. Try restarting your computer and power cycling the Apollo device. If the issue persists, try reinstalling the Apollo 16 software or using a different FireWire or Thunderbolt cable.
How to resolve audio glitches and dropouts on Apollo?
To address audio glitches and dropouts on your Apollo, try increasing the audio buffer size setting in your DAW. Also, confirm clocking setups by checking cable connections and ensuring all device clocks are synchronized to one master clock device.
