I just purchased an RME Fireface 800. During all types of playback - Reason 2.5, CD, DVD and Mp3 playback there is a consistent crack and pop every 4 or 5 seconds.

I am running a G5 dual 2.0, OS X 10.4, 1 GB ram, brand spankin' new, Fireface connected through provided FW 400 cord.

I am experiencing audio dropouts, clicks and pops with my Firepod/Cubase setup. When I create a new project and begin to record, the scroll bar on the ruler tends to pause and then skips forward. The pops/clicks and audio dropouts follow. Here are the facts about my DAW:

They're extremely discrete, but they're still there...

My computer is a P4 2.8, 1024 ram, two 80Gb HDs, one only for audio. I'm using Cubase, already used sonar, all running under Windows XP Pro (sp2).

I have a Tascam digital recorder attached to an aardvark card and when sound is inputed into a channel, a popping sound occurs every so often. I went through and set all the rates I could find to 44 but it is still popping. Any ideas?

Hi I got an emu 1212 recently and some of you may have seen my earlier posts. All of my previous problems with gettin the hardware and software configured have been solved.
However now i notice that whilst i record the volume of the output rises and falls sporadically and when i play it back it stutters at times and makes popping noises.

Howdy.

I've got a problem of my new setup making popping sounds when I record.(correction: when RECORDING, I can actually SEE the "pops" in the waveform, but I can't actually HEAR it, until PLAYBACK).

i'm rather new to the world of digital recording...having two learning curves to master:The PC and Sonar xl. i'm running sonarxl w/A7V333MOTHERBOARD, 1gig athlon, win 2000 pro and 528 megs DDR333 SDRAM, Edirol ua-5 sound card. i'm getting good results experimenting with different latency settings etc. the problem? it seems I can't stop random clicks and pops from creeping up in the track.

Hi,

I have heard people mention problems with Nic cards and just read this on musicxp.net

I think there idea of creating xp hardware profiles and disabling the nic card for the audio profile is prolly a good idea.

Also, does anybody know if this problem is specific to 3Com Nic cards? Also is it specific to PCI or will onboard Nic suffer the same problem?

I keep getting this popping/clicking type sound on by recordings.
I assume this must be some type of sync issue.

I can’t seem to get rid of it with any types of plugins.
I have noticed that if I zoom way in the wave form as a “repeated oscillation” if I delete the repeated oscillation the click/pop will vanish.

Any idea, tips, advice?

Please excuse me on this, but I just got it this week and from doing a few mixes I noticed it has a terible Digital pop at almost every beginning and end.

What am I doing wrong?
