Actually, Airport affects the Mac's performance, period. It's not just limited to POD. Apple has already posted numerous updates addressing this, however, it is recommended to shut it off when doing audio production in a DAW.

Got a link to an apple document that supports your claim?

Funny you showed up this weekend - I just borrowed a friend's USB audio interface and I've been putting it through its paces with no audio problems at all. If I switch back the POD I get crackling. Funny, huh?

All project files and audio are stored on internal HD. I only have one at the moment as the machine is quite new I haven't got around to upgrading much. I will put another internal drive or 2 in and transfer my libraries to that eventually...

Sample buffer is set at 64.

So this is Line 6's technical support eh? Does someone from Line 6 ever respond to these boards? I did not come on here to discuss the problem with other users, I wanted to report the fault to a Line 6 technical guy and get some kind of hints as to how they might be remedied.

This is possibly the worst technical support I've evr encountered. It might be worth getting a new soundcard just to get a company that has decent customer service...

I've been using a different usb audio interface for a week or so now with great results. I was even able to lower my buffer with no problems. I'm looking at getting something with firewire, however, since I think it'll be even more reliable.

We don't all have budgets for both a POD and a dedicated audio interface, that's supposed to be a major feature of many Line6 products, so I agree that some more official help from Line6 would be good. As for what alternative interfaces or even amp simulation effects I'm looking at, that's a discussion for a different board.
