All suggested, points of conflict have been researched and verified. Only 1 universe and 1) 12 ch light addressed to DMX address 17. Faders 17,18,19,20 work Faders 21 and above do not. Software and usb interface have been installed on 2 different computers with exactly the same result. Software uninstalled and a fresh install done with exactly same results. My conclusion is a faulty XPRESS 1024 USB interface. Chauvet is avoiding my conclusion. So where do I go from here.

We think that, if some fixtures are working correctly, the dmx signal is ok.
The reason some fixtures are working correctly and some others not can be:
- a problem in the dmx line
- a bad software setting (did you check Niffo's comments ?)

If you are sure about your dmx line and your software setting, please let us know.

Ok, I am currently restoring my computer to a restore date prior to installing the DMX software ( Sweetlight, ShowExpress) trying to rid all instances of software and driver settings. Then I will be installing Software and drivers once again. Just to reiterate I have only been using the Xpress 1024 USB interface , factory DMX cable, and one 12 channel fixture. Previous DMX address 1 the 12 addresses (1-12) worked as expected. With same fixture set at DMX address 17 then only addresses 17,18,19,20 responded. I have a support ticket with Chauvet I'm just not impressed with the communication. Yes I am a newbie, but I cannot understand how the interface will only allow 20 addresses to be transmitted. Please excuse my ranting I just really frustrated.

* UPDATE* Finally someone agrees with me that the interface box I have is defective. Tech support verified what I have been saying all along.

no problem, I went to the your website and got the correct number. I spoke with Caesar and he verified my issues. I'm now in contact with the supplier to ship out a replacement interface box. I was getting a little frustrated. Thanks for your help.
