Hey, don't give up yet. Pro Tools is great once you get things sorted, and by then you'll be an expert!
There is a demo session that comes with PT. I'd suggest loading it up and making sure it plays back properly (without any noise issues). Getting that done is half the battle.
Then make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your Quartet. It's always good practice to turn interface (Quartet in your case) on before booting computer.
Take Albees previous advice about windows sound settings. Read up a little on 'Playback Engine' in PT reference guide. It's helpful to have an understanding of this aspect of PT.
As far as the buzzing sound is concerned, we can only guess what that could be but as suggested start at the beginning of the signal chain (the pickups) and use a process of elimination to isolate where noise is coming from. As said earlier, ground loop problems are common so that's a good place to check.
Best of luck dude....never give up on anything. Anything worthwhile never comes for nothing
