Description of Issue

Studio system - Router connected by ~70 ft shielded cable to opposite side of house. Received by optical switch to mutli switch, USB cable to Manhattan II. This system was working for about two months, but has not worked for about a week. There were occasional times it disappeared previously but it returned by restarting the switches. I have restarted both optical and muti switch as well as Manhattan, and even restarted incoming router switch.
Manhattan switches between inputs from AES from my RME Fireface UFX studio recorder, phono preamp, and CD player.

There is a device under Settings/Audio labelled Mytek USB but when I try to enable, I get message Device Initiation Failed.

Any thoughts?

Hi @Dan_Bode,

Thank you for getting in touch with your question. We’d be happy to take a look here.

As a test, if you temporarily disconnect the converter and switch, and connect the Manhattan II directly to the cable run will the Mytek appear on your Audio page?

A few hours after I posted this, the Manhattan showed up on both my phone and my PC. I had not done anything since writing the note, after trying restarts daily for about 5 days. It seems to be fixed, but I don’t know why or what to do if it disappears again. Your idea to bypass the optical converter and switch is a good idea to test.
