It does! I'll go grab a spdif cable later and try it out. Think it could make a difference?

Just tried it. It works perfectly fine. Levels are good, no crackling. But I don't get it, I've had no issues whatsoever with my ProFire before. And I don't want to switch interfaces everytime I want to record guitars haha.

It's set to mic :/ I'd understand the crackling if the levels were clipping, but they're not. They're at about 50%. It crackles more when I play louder/add louder effects. When I plug headphones straight to the POD HD500x, everything's fine.

Hey guys! I just got my POD HD500x and I'm having several issues; I hooked it up to my ProFire 2626 interface via the balanced (XLR) outputs. I made a nice distortion patch, but no matter what I do, I either get a reeeeeally weak signal or I get crackling. Even if the signal level is at 50%-60%, I'll get crackling (especially when using Wah or delay). But if I turn it down the signal is too weak. So my question is the following: 1. How should I set the amp's volume, mixer volume and master on the POD HD500x in order to achieve the loudest, clearest signal? 2. Should I use make up gain on my interface? Thanks
