I was playing guitar with my Studio GX.  The Studio GX has been perfect to me until now.  I usually run the GX through my guitar amplifier for a better sound (Peavy Vypyr 75). In the middle of my playing I hear a pop, and then a static noise.  Since then, the Studio GX hasn't been working at all.  I updated everything, replugged everything, and nothing seems to work.  (In case you think it's the amp thats the problem, it's not, It works just fine without the Studio GX).  When I try play its either quiet (if you turn my amp knob to like 7 you can SLIGHTLY hear the guitar, and a lot of buzz) or it has a loud static noise (depends on the preset I'm on).  A lot of poppin' going around.  I tried using this on my other computer, which is a "HP Pavilion Quad core" and it doesn't work on that computer either; same problem.  It's such a shame that this isn't working, it's a really great product.  Unfortunatly I can't even return it or exchange it either, so I just wasted 120 bucks for 2 weeks of playing....  Help!!
