How do I search for Information on a Pro Tools DAE Error? Is there a DAE error list of all DAE errors?
-About DAE Errors-
Pro Tools provides an error reporting system that opens a window when an error is encountered. In many cases, the error message includes a message that “DAE Error -XXXX was encountered”. In addition to the information included in the error message, you can use the Sweetwater & Digidesign support section to search for more information and possible solutions.
There is not a single list containing all DAE errors. Instead, all known information on DAE errors is entered in the Digidesign online database. Information on DAE errors may be found in individual or multiple Answerbase articles (both Sweetwater.com and Digidesign.com), as well as the download and compatibility articles in the Digidesign support section.
To search for information on a specific DAE error:
1. Enter the error code or the entire error message in the Sweetwater Sweetcare anserbase window.
or
2. Go to the Digidesign Support section:
www.digidesign.com/support
3. In the “Support Search” window at the top left of the page, enter just the error code number. Do not enter the minus sign or anything else, just the number.*
For the most complete results, leave the drop down category list at the default “All Categories”.
4. Click the Search button. That will bring up all available support information regarding that DAE error.
Please note that in some instances information on an error number may not yet be documented, and in such cases no search results will be found for that error number.
If you encounter an error message in Pro Tools that does not contain a DAE error number, you can search for more information by entering part of a phrase in the error message, or one or more of the words.
*In the Digidesign website search engine, entering a word, number or phrase with a minus sign (such as DAE error -XXXX) will omit an item from the search, so you would not get the desired search results.

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.
