Sometimes this will occur if the audio channels
are being over-run, or there is too much demand
on the audio drive. Inadvertently setting up multiple
split edits in a sequence can do this, as the audio
drive ends up thrashing as it tries to play multiple
temp files from the split audio in addition to
any audio-only files being played. Review the sequence
to be certain you have no more than four stereo
pairs playing at any given time, and that you have
no more than one split audio from a video clip
playing at one time, especially if using two audio
clips simultaneously.
-
Sometimes in a sequence, even though there is
no audio being played back from a given clip, there
are audio channels being reserved for the clip.
This is the case when you have the clip's audio
turned down to zero level or when there is no audio
actually recorded on the clip, but the speaker
icon shows on the clip crouton.
You have to make sure that play audio, shown as
selected in the figure below, is deselected.
This will remove the "speaker" icon
from the crouton.
Selecting the clip and using the key combination
RIGHT-ALT - a does the same thing.

This error can occur if the audio hard drive is
too full to accept temp files. Check to see that
the drive has plenty of space. If not, you'll need
to remove files to make space available, or you
may wish to consider adding a second audio drive.
If the drive appears to have plenty of space, it
still may be overfull due to space taken up by
temp files. If you suspect this may be the case
(you've been doing lots of split-edits), move audio
files to another drive temporarily, and reformat
the audio drive.
-
This error will occur if the intended audio drive
has been inadvertently formatted as an A/V drive
instead of Audio Only. Use FlyerHDTools to confirm
that the Audio drive is formatted Audio Only, and
reformat if necessary.
-
Try a SCSI address ID other than 0 for the audio
drive. Some drives do not work at address 0, but
work fine at address 4 or 5. Be sure to switch
the appropriate device driver from Storage/DOSDrivers
to DEVS/DOSDrivers, i.e. place FC4 in DEVS/DOSDrivers
if you set the drive for device 4, and remove FC0
from DEVS/DOSDRIVERS, since it is no longer in
use.
-
Make sure there is plenty of ventilation to the
hard drives. If they overheat during operation
they can cause sequencing problems.
-
Check SCSI Cabling to the audio drive chain, and
replace if faulty.
-
Test the audio drive to be sure it is functioning
properly.
-
Check the power supply of both the Amiga and whatever
device or enclosure is providing power to your
A/V harddrives.
-
Check the Flyer card's C-SCSI chain with other
known good hard drives, to see if it is operating
properly. If it is not, contact Technical Support
for an RMA.
