Tried everything suggested, no go.
Worked fine with WinXP Pro. Now with Win8 it pops, clicks, and audio stops/starts at random times.
Seems to be worse when doing multiple things but my system isn't underpowered. Quad-core and 8GB RAM.. also i think 750Watt power supply.
Onboard audio works just fine, it's just the UX2 clicking away. How long has this been going on and they havent fixed or updated anyone that opened similar support tickets?
