Sound Devices 722 firmware revision 2.40 provides the following key fixes and features:

    * fix - MP2 and MP3 file length calculation.
    * fix - possibility of missed take introduced in 2.34 with CF after rapidly entering record after pressing stop. Unit now says, "Please Wait".
    * fix - project folder not setting and clearing copy flags in sub-folders. Bug introduced in 2.34.
    * fix - metadata note data saving. When notes were added and then edited, the edits occasionally did not take affect. Bug introduced in 2.34.
    * fix - when recording FLAC to CF, the recorder had the possibility of producing a file of length 0 seconds.
    * fix - when changing from FLAC format to MP2, the unit had the possibility of locking up.
    * fix - lockout of transport controls now operating properly.
    * fix - gain display only shows when gain knobs are turned.
    * change - estimate of available drive space when recording FLAC format. Original estimates too optimistic.
    * change - removed the 130 GB addressable space limitation. Drives up to 2 TB addressable.
    * see known issues below
    * documentation is available here
