"The required DSP is not available" error when creating aux sends or inputs...

"The required DSP is not available" error when creating aux sends or inputs, or instantiating Plug-Ins on a MIX system. Allocator shows there are DSPs available.

This can be caused by the fact that a "compatible" DSP chip is not available. For example, there are 3 MegaReverb compatible DSP chips on a MIX card. These same chips are required by the Playback Engine. If you are running the 32 voice engine, then 2 chips are available for MegaReverb (64 voice engine takes 2 chips).If "compatible" chips are available, this error could be from having peripherals declared on cards other than the first card. The 1.7 version of the Mixer Plug-In does not handle DSP allocation properly in this case. Remove the peripherals (in the Playback Engine dialog) or update to the 1.7.1 (or later) version of the Mixer Plug-In.
