Hi. Posted this on RME's forum, but once it became clear it was a PT issue, I think they lost interest.
I have an RME Babyface. I'm on Windows 10 desktop, running Pro Tools 10.3.9. I run this machine with Pro Tools almost everyday. For the past two days, when I activate any plugin, and I mean just ONE plugin on ONE channel, I get terrible crackling and popping. Checked my buffer size, and it's up at 1024. Tried with other buffer sizes. Restarted the machine about 10 times. Tried 3 different USB cables. Tried a different USB port. Nothing seems to help.I didn't change anything from one day to the next. I pulled up a session I had been working on the day before, and suddenly I can't use plugins without the popping.
Reverb plugins seem to cause the most problems. Avid/Digidesign plugins cause popping, but not nearly as bad as third party plugins.
Also, on other programs that use VST, this does NOT seem to be a problem. It's really only with RTAS plugins.
Anyone have any ideas?
