Good morning. My Nitris DX died and I installed a know-good unit plus the PCi board. I ran the installer:DX Driver 67 5.9 setup but my sstem still does not recognize the replacement Nitris. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi Mike

I assume these specifications are still valid?

HP Z820 Dual Xeon Processor running Media Composer 2018.12.2 and Nitris DX.

Starting with MC 2018.5, you need to manually install the DX driver, as it is no longer part of the main MC installer.

You should be able to find the latest driver in the utilities folder.

C:\Program Files\Avid\Utilities\DXDrivers

You also can download the DX Driver, and other drivers, from Avid's Knowledge Base.

Avid Knowledge Base | Drivers for Avid Audio Hardware

It's in the Video Hardware Device Drivers category.

Hi Mike,

Does the orange light at the front go green as soon as you power up the Z820?

Which version of Windows, and especially which build are you running on your workstation?

Can you see your Nitris DX in Window's Device Manager?

Mike

Good to know the DX lights behave.

If Green: The Host is connected, driver communicating

If Green / Amber: The Host is connected. PCIe negotiated only, no drive communication.

Is the Nitris DX correctly connected? Do you see the HOST light lit green and stay GREEN?

Is the HARDWARE switch set to ON in MC? (You'll find this to the right of the audio meters on the timeline icon ribbon)
