When do the noises occur? During recording? Streaming audio and video through various players?

When playing back or recording using a DAW - happens with Cubase Essential 5 and Reaper. However if I'm just playing guitar on Podfarm, Guitar Rig or Revalver there isn't a problem. The problem comes when a DAW is loaded.

How often do the noises occur? Intermittent? Always?

Within a five minute period I'll at least get one painful shite noise spike. Sometimes many more.

Are you able to reproduce the noises? If so can you give us a recipe or repro steps?

I can't see a pattern other than that the white noise is more severe when modelling high gain amps. I can guarantee I get the white noise blips if I run a DAW, though one might have to wait a few minutes for the first to arrive. Once there's been one - others seem to follow in greater quantity.

Can you post a little clip of the noises and attach them to your reply? (MP3, .WAV, AIFF, etc)

Interestingly the DAW never records the spikes. It seems to be a playback issue with the UX1 rather than something to do with the sound that gets recorded.

Noises occur during recording and playback in Acoustica Mixcraft. No noises in other Windows operations, but rather the sound works only intermittently - i.e. many system sounds just don't happen, test sound in device driver just hangs, no sound most of the time.

How often do the noises occur? Intermittent? Always?

Always in Mixcraft, intermittent sound on and off in other applications

Are you able to reproduce the noises? If so can you give us a recipe or repro steps?

Load and play any file in Mixcraft. General sound not working, so just need to take any action that is supposed to make a Windows sound or application (e.g. iTunes)

I can't at the moment, but it's the same general digital "stutter" that you hear from other apps, streaming audio/video, etc.

My UX1 is my default audio material.

It occur randomly when listening music with Winamp or WMP. I don't recording for moment so I don't know if this interfer.

How often do the noises occur? Intermittent? Always?

It occur often and randomly. It can occur like 4 times in 5 minutes. Sometime 1 time in 1 hour...

Are you able to reproduce the noises? If so can you give us a recipe or repro steps?

I can reproduce it when listening music but not like I want. It's really random and the effect is really short (like 1sec or less).

Can you post a little clip of the noises and attach them to your reply? (MP3, .WAV, AIFF, etc)

Not easy because of the random and short effect. If I can later, I will.

Thank you !

Hi Chriswhitener,

I've got the POD studio UX1 that is black (I think it's USB 2) and I have the problem. Maybe I'm wrong.

What are the detailed specs of your computer (model type, processor type and speed, RAM, motherboard, chipset)?

System is AMD Phenom X3/X2+ 550 3.1ghz (black Edition), Gigabyte MA-785, 6gig Kingston DDR2 800 mhz RAM, GTS 250- with win7x64-ult .I too am having issues with USB 1 devices , but Im not using L6 Audio interface so I am just posting to help resolve this issue

When do the noises occur? During recording? Streaming audio and video through various players?

I have a  Flextone III into a NIO2-4(USB 1) - I get  pops every few seconds depending on latency settings- lower latency= less time between pop/crackle, higher latency = more time between, also get them in Sonar 8 if I use the AISO (USB 1) driver.

Are you able to reproduce the noises? If so can you give us a recipe or repro steps?

Fflextone III into NIO then into amplitube, always happens constantly. Changed priority on amplitube (High or realtime) has a slight effect, pops are not as constant or loud.

I have ran the trouble shooter and tried every compatibility setting possible, I have also turned off all visual effects . I am also having issues with my flextoneIII and line6 edit (another issue)

Have checked all the IRQ assignments and system limited bandwidth on each host controller, I think its at the driver level these are the 3 drivers that run with my USB 1 device- all in system 32/drivers- usbd.sys  :  usbfilter.sys  :  usbhub.sys.

All my audio worked 100% on Vista 64-ult , if this issue is endemic to win7 i will have to Run my studio on a vista boot .....ewww

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hmmm now i feel stupid- after running through my process list with win7-manager I carefully shutdown each 1 hoping I had some rogue program interfering with the Audio stream and after a few hours I found the culprit - My mobo chipset disk had installed Easytune6 and I used it to monitor core/cpu temps, as soon as I killed it all the pops and clicks went away, have tested with the above mentions software and Sonar8 Prod 8.3 (with a stack of VST plugins) and still no pops. On Vistax64 I could get Flex->NIO->Amplitube's AISO buffer latency down to 5ms before it broke up, with very little tweaking I can now get 2ms buffer-

I would guess most of you with this issue have tried stopping background programs but if you havnt go for the Energy Saver-Overclocking-comeswithMobo- stuff 1st. Good luck

HP Pavilion dv6-1244tx, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53, 4 gig ddr sdram, Windows 7. UX2 with Pod Farm, Ableton Live Lite

When do the noises occur? During recording? Streaming audio and video through various players?

The noises occur during recording with Ableton Live Lite and during normal playing using POD Farm.  The CPU usage meter gets quite high when using Ableton Live.  The noise is much worse while using Ableton Live Lite.  After about 30 seconds it gets really slow and then basically freezes, at this point even if I close Ableton, Pod Farm is still affected.

How often do the noises occur? Intermittent? Always?

Always but worse while using Ableton.  It has made Ableton unusable.

Are you able to reproduce the noises? If so can you give us a recipe or repro steps?

No the noises do not record, however.

Can you post a little clip of the noises and attach them to your reply? (MP3, .WAV, AIFF, etc)
