Common GALAXY processor errors & problems
What techs run into most, and what's usually behind it. The step-by-step fix for your exact unit is in Ask Roadie.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
AVB link unstable / intermittent audio dropouts
Likely cause: AVB reserves bandwidth on gigabit links; a silent drop to 100baseT or a non-AVB switch breaks stream reservations and causes dropouts.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Compass Go (iPad) or Spacemap Go will not connect to GALAXY
Likely cause: The iOS control apps discover processors over IPv6; without IPv6 on the AP/switch, discovery fails.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
GALAXY processor does not appear in Compass / shows offline
Likely cause: GALAXY control and audio ride on Milan/AVB, so it only enumerates in Compass with matched firmware, AVB/IPv6-capable infrastructure, and intact gigabit links.

GALAXY runs hot / ventilation and rack placement concern
Likely cause: DSP platforms protect/throttle under thermal load; restricted airflow is the most common cause of heat-related misbehavior.

GALAXY specs quick reference (power, weight, I/O, connectors)
Likely cause: Load-in, rack, and power-distro planning reference taken from Meyer datasheets.

How to update GALAXY firmware
Likely cause: Compass bundles and pushes matched firmware over the control network; the reboot loads the new image and clears the mismatch flag.

Interfacing GALAXY AVB with third-party AVB (Biamp Tesira, RME, etc.)
Likely cause: AVB requires a common media clock and compatible stream formats; mismatched clock or format stops the listener from locking.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Need to take SIM measurements / connect audio analyzer
Likely cause: The SIM bus routes internal tap points to the analyzer, removing external patch changes for measurement.
