It may very well be, or it is most likely pilot error. In comparison, it took me the better part of a month to wrap my head around the H9000. Before you figure something is broken, strip stuff down to the bare minimum. Start with the analog XLR stereo pair. Can you get input into that and back out to your interface? Spend some time reading the manuals as well.
