DAE error -9073 during playback on a d24 system.
Try running a bad block scan on all audio drives. If one of the drives is developing bad blocks it may be attempting to spare them out on the fly, which could cause timeout errors. If this is the case, a low-level format may fix the problem, or the drive may need to be replaced. If this is a SCSI problem, and you have an Adaptec card, you may be able to solve it by disabling Ultra transfers in the Adaptec PowerDomain control panel. Ultra transfers are very finicky about cable length and termination. If your total cable length (including the cabling inside of the drive enclosures, which can be up to 12″ per enclosure) exceeds 1.5 meters, you can get all kinds of SCSI bus problems when in Ultra mode, including random hangs — which might trigger -9073 errors. You should also make sure you are using active termination (active terminators can be identified by their green LEDs). Try removing the FWB extension if it is active. The FWB extension constantly polls the SCSI bus to see if there are any removable devices that need to be mounted. This would add to the activity on the SCSI bus and could impact real-time operations such as audio or video playback.

Offer applies only to single-receipt qualifying purchases. Select manufacturers may require that only the manufacturer’s products qualify towards the minimum purchase amount needed to be eligible for promotional financing. Otherwise, an invoice that meets the minimum purchase amount and contains at least one qualifying manufacturer product is eligible for promotional financing. No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
