Distorted sound on output
 

I'm running PT 11 on a Mac OS 10.8.5 with Apollo 8 interface. Lately I'll get the system up and running and push play and I get a scatchy distorted sound.
I;ve restarted, repluged, recheck I/O's and prayed to the god of Avid and I can't find the cause. Ideas ?

Dies this happen on all sessions? How are you listening, headphones, speaker system?

The sound appears on all sessions. Happened intermitently but now it's won't resolve itself. Also the sound seems to be in front/on top of the primary audio.

I would check your headphones and/or speaker system.

The sound only occurs on PT. Other sources from the computer play fine and thru TB the Apollo interface i-tunes,CDs, internet. The problem isn't the playback monitoring. This happened a few months ago, but cured it self with a restart after a few minutes.

Bam, I started up my system load a session and the static was there. Opened an earlier saved session and no static on the tracks. I have no explanation for this phenom. BUT if anybody would like to chip in with any hypotheticals, I'd like to hear them.
