Hi,

I've been using a M-Audio Fast Track Ultra for quite a few years, always took care of it and it just started doing an unexpected tickling. As soon as I plug the power supply in and turn the soundcard on, MIDI and power lights start flashing at a constant rate of ~60 BPM and accompanied by a loud click which can be heard even if the device isn't connected to any speaker. It does it whether the +48V is on or not. Although when I only use the USB power only, everything is fine. Problem is : only inputs and ouputs 1-2 are available in bus-power mode.

I've tried to plug it on another power source (different room, different house), on another computer, with other gear, etc. but nothing got it solved.

I've read a lot over the internet looking for a solution, but I couldn't get anything to fix it. That said, this proved me that I'm far from being the only one to have this problem (many videos on YouTube, many inquiries on different forums, but solutions no where).

Any solutions?

Thanks!
