s950 'mix' output problem?

I noticed this forum has a ton of posts regarding the s950, so I thought I'd ask a question.

This morning I was chopping up sounds on my s950 and I noticed the 'play' button wasn't as responsive as usual. I would press it, and the 'midi receive' button would light up, but sometimes the sound just wouldn't play. Other times I could hear it playing really quietly... and other times it would start playing and then 'crackle out'. I tried triggering the sound via my MPC60 and ran into the same problem.

Considering the 'midi receive' lights up every time I press 'play', I'm thinking my mix output could be starting to fade.

Anyone else have this problem? Is this a correct analysis?

How do I go about fixing it? Is it possible I just need a new cable or something?

Thanks, peace

Try using a different cable first, of course. If that doesnt help, then theres something wrong with that output.

I have a problem with one of the main outs on my s950 and I'm not sure why it doesnt work. It's not that much of a big deal, as I use the mix out until I go and buy a snake for the 8 assignable outs. I'm just hoping none of the other outputs start to fail on me either. But anyway, I'd still like to troubleshoot and repair that main out eventually if I can figure it out.
