Yeah tried that. Now as well as the crackling the KB37 (which as i use to process my sound) is randomly just cutting out all sound. The power is still on and it is still connected etc. but sound just stops working until i restart. I'm pretty sure ive turned off all the things in the usb settings which allows it to shut off things so no idea whats going on!

Yeah i updated everything via Slimdrivers as recommended. I was looking in device manager and it says that my usb root hubs have 500 mA of power. The KB37 uses 498 - So i tried to spread my usb things around so it wasn't sucking power from the line6 but to no avail. Would a pci usb card provide more power to the usb ports rather than coming straight from the mobo?

I have tried most of them. I am going to buy a pci usb card and try that. Does it matter if its a usb 3.0 which is compatible with 2.0? thanks

Yeah the youtube thing is just the test im doing while trouble shooting. It crackles while on games and playing guitar through the pod/kb37 etc

ok i tried dpc and got spikes into red when performing different tasks but no sound crackle or break up until i started playing music and opening youtube videos. It's surely a problem with the kb37+pod because my sound is perfect if im not using them

yeah i have task manager open and i get big cpu spikes whenever i open a web page or whatever but i guess this is normal. It spikes up the same if i open and normal website or a youtube video but only get the crackles if its a youtube video. I will try your suggestions now. cheers.

thanks for the fast reply. They are both going into usb 2 ports. :(

Hey guys I've used a kb37 for years and set it to default device on my pc so it would process all my sound. It started crackling slightly a while ago but wasn't too much of a problem but got worse. I recently upgraded some parts of my pc (better cpu, better power supply, more ram) but its even worse. If i just have one song on its normally ok but if for example i run other programs like open a youtube video it just starts to crackle like hell - it does not do this if i run my speakers straight into my computer. Everything i said above is exactly the same for both the kb37 and my newly acquired pod hd (bean). This surely cannot be down to an overload on my pc, so i'm at a loss. Pc spec: Windows 8 Intel i5 3570k 3.4ghz with water cooling 16gb ram 850W power supply with dual 12v rails PLEASE help I am trying to put together a home studio but cannot currently seem to process anything more than a song playing.
