I am having the same issue...Tried everything under the sun from the forums. I want to take a hammer to the thing--I wonder what the cost will be to have the DSP board replaced or whatever needs to be done to fix it.
I am having the exact same issue. I own a small music venue and use this as my board for everything. It has been a real pain because the unit works fine as long as I don't try to use Universal Control so I can use the iPad and since the board is located at the side of the stage it makes it extremely difficult to mix front of house without the iPad. If I end up having to send it in for repairs then I will have a new host of issues because I don't have a backup board for the venue. It seems to me though that is has to be a software or driver issue because the mixer still works great as long as I don't turn on my Mac in my rack and try to use Capture and Universal Control. I really need help. I have recommended this unit to every band that asks about it and now I'm not so sure because it seems there isn't a true solution to a seemingly typical issue.

You should have started your own thread to really get responses, your issue is not exactly the same as the others in this thread.
That said, you are a good candidate for the firewire ID trick. because your board works great standalone, you are probably having trouble connecting to a computer. First be sure you have optimized your computer for audio following the guide in the knowledge base. If it still doesn't work, try changing the firewireID as stated in the thread below

These issues should be pushing you to set up a tech service ticket... As Steve pointed out , these are seldom the same exact issue...Many of these issues stem from the fact that your computers never shut down fully, but only go to sleep, then, when you shut down the board the link is severed and the hierarchy ... turn on mixer , mixer syncs internally > turn on computer computer boots and takes control VIA UC. is compromised
Toggling the Firewire ID has the same affect as turning the computer off (assuming it actually DID shut down) and back on...

Having the same problem. Last night while practicing with the band - the only inputs that worked were 13/14, 15/16. I did NOT have my MAC in the studio. Now NONE of them work, and i get no OUTPUT either. When i plug in my mac via firewire, and say play a previous recording on studio live and route it fire wire to a channel - i get INPUT on the METERS - but no OUTPUT on the mains, aux , headphones etc (although the output meters say there is output) - but i can't hear anything. Frustrating - spent 30 minutes on hold then had to leave a message. Looks like i'm having similar problems to others on this thread. ML
same Problem inputs 1 through 12 are recieving no analog input but some times i turn it on a good. Presonus you are killing my creativity maan help me out whats the fix?
I cant get input on any connections one channels one an two have never hooked to computer yet I do get a red overload light when I turn up the gain but no meters is
there a gate or something im missing the other channels work fine
