motu828 mk2 crackle

Originally posted by : Nightshade

hi,  i have a soundcard motu828 mk2 accorded with firewire to my pc, when i use reason or ableton everything is fine,  so no matters while producin,  but when i open a reasonfile,  sometimes i have crackles (craquements, gekraak) and a tuuuuut or pieeeeeuw at the end in the speakers, its not the speakers cause they new and i had that with my previous ones Too  also when i listen to mp3's,  when i start the mp3 it does crackles and pieeuws it doesnt do it every time and once the mp3 is playing its ok,  but im not sure if thats very good for the speakers,   does anyone experienced that problem and fixed it somehow ?  thanks 

do you have external harddiscs connected via firewire?

no not via firewire,  sometimes i connect harddisks with usb,  but only to backup stuff and as soon as its backupped i disconect them

i installed vlc media player,  and it seems that with that one i dont have the crackle problem when i play some mp3 that often as with mediaplayer,  but that still dont explain the crackle when i open reason files

in fact,  sometimes it does it,  sometimes not also my windows sounds are disabled and the soundcard on my motherboard also,  everything goes trough my motu
