Default Mbox3 crackle sound when turning volume knob

Does anybody have a problem with there Mbox3 making a crackle noise through the speakers when turning the volume knob up or down? Looking to either replace this interface if this is indeed the problem or get a different one.. Anyone have any suggestions?

My MBox 3 Mini has been doing that since the day I bought it. I just turn the knob back and forth quickly for a few seconds, and the crackle goes away. It only crackles while moving the knob. Once I set the volume I want, the sound is fine.
