Static-like crackle...
Avid Support,
I’ve recently purchased Pro Tools 9 with the Mbox to complete my new dedicated music computer, but I get a static-like crackle with all audio applications. I’ve had a couple of very knowledgeable people have a look at it, but no luck yet resolving the issue. I’m hoping someone at Avid Support can help me out. And I apologize in advance if I haven't submitted everything correctly - this is my first post... 1) Sandra Report: SiSoftware Sandra – January 29, 2012 ID Host Name : AMD-x2-x4-855 Workgroup : ELOFFS Computer Model : GigaByte GA-MA785GM-US2H Chassis : GigaByte Desktop Mainboard : GigaByte GA-MA785GM-US2H BIOS : Award (OEM) F12a 07/08/2010 Total Memory : 5.5GB DIMM DDR2 Processors Processor : AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 940 Processor (4C 3GHz/3GHz, 1.81GHz IMC, 4x 512kB L2, 6MB L3) Chipset Memory Controller : AMD RS780/880 Host Bridge 2x 1.81GHz (3.62GHz) FSB, Integrated Graphics Memory Controller : AMD F10 Athlon 64/Opteron/Sempron HT Hub 2x 1.81GHz (3.62GHz) FSB, 2x 3GB DIMM DDR2 2x 402MHz (804MHz) Memory Module(s) Memory Module : G.Skill F2-8500CL5-2GBPK 2GB DIMM DDR2 PC2-8500U DDR2-1066 (5-5-5-15 3-24-6-3) Memory Module : G.Skill F2-8500CL5-2GBPK 2GB DIMM DDR2 PC2-8500U DDR2-1066 (5-5-5-15 3-24-6-3) Memory Module : G.Skill F2-6400CL5-1GBNQ 1GB DIMM DDR2 PC2-6400U DDR2-800 (5-5-5-14 3-23-6-3) Memory Module : G.Skill F2-6400CL5-1GBNQ 1GB DIMM DDR2 PC2-6400U DDR2-800 (5-5-5-14 3-23-6-3) Video System Video Adapter : ATI Radeon HD 4200 (40 SM4.1, 512MB 32-bit, Integrated Graphics) Graphics Processor Storage Devices WDC WD10EADS-00L5B1 (1TB, SATA300, 3.5", 32MB Cache) : 932GB (D:) (X:) KINGSTON SSDNOW 30GB (30GB, SATA300, 2.5", SSD) : 28GB (E:) KINGSTON SNV425S264GB (64GB, SATA300, 2.5", SSD) : 60GB (C:) WDC WD10EALX-009BA0 (1TB, SATA600, 3.5", 7200rpm, 32MB Cache) : 932GB (G:) Optiarc BD-ROM BR-5100S (SATA150, BD-R, DVD+-R, CD-R, 4MB Cache) : N/A (F:) Logical Storage Devices ARCHIVE-2 (D:) : 455GB (NTFS) @ WDC WD10EADS-00L5B1 (1TB, SATA300, 3.5", 32MB Cache) CAPTURE (E:) : 28GB (NTFS) @ KINGSTON SSDNOW 30GB (30GB, SATA300, 2.5", SSD) BOOT (C:) : 60GB (NTFS) @ KINGSTON SNV425S264GB (64GB, SATA300, 2.5", SSD) EWQL CCC (G:) : 932GB (NTFS) @ WDC WD10EALX-009BA0 (1TB, SATA600, 3.5", 7200rpm, 32MB Cache) ARCHIVE-1 (X:) : 476GB (NTFS) @ WDC WD10EADS-00L5B1 (1TB, SATA300, 3.5", 32MB Cache) Floppy Disk (A:) : N/A Optical Drive (F:) : N/A @ Optiarc BD-ROM BR-5100S (SATA150, BD-R, DVD+-R, CD-R, 4MB Cache) Peripherals LPC Hub Controller 1 : Giga-Byte IXP SB600/700/800 SMBUS Controller LPC Hub Controller 2 : ATI (AMD) SB700/800 LPC host controller LPC Legacy Controller 1 : T0 87-18 Audio Device : Giga-Byte IXP SB600 High Definition Audio Controller Audio Codec : Realtek Semi Realtek 885 High Definition Audio Audio Device : Giga-Byte RS880 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4200] Audio Codec : ATI (AMD) HDMI Audio Serial Port(s) : 1 Parallel Port(s) : 1 Disk Controller : Giga-Byte SB700/800 SATA Controller [IDE mode] Disk Controller : Giga-Byte SB700/800 IDE USB Controller 1 : Giga-Byte SB700/800 USB OHCI0 Controller USB Controller 2 : Giga-Byte SB700/800 USB OHCI1 Controller USB Controller 3 : Giga-Byte SB700/800 USB EHCI Controller USB Controller 4 : Giga-Byte SB700/800 USB OHCI0 Controller USB Controller 5 : Giga-Byte SB700/800 USB OHCI1 Controller USB Controller 6 : Giga-Byte SB700/800 USB EHCI Controller USB Controller 7 : Giga-Byte SB700/800 USB OHCI2 Controller FireWire/1394 Controller 1 : Giga-Byte TSB43AB23 1394a-2000 OHCI PHY/link-layer Controller SMBus/i2c Controller 1 : ATI SB700 SMBus Printers and Faxes Printer : Microsoft XPS Document Writer (600x600, Colour) Fax : Microsoft Shared Fax Driver (200x200) Printer : CutePDF Writer (4000x4000, Colour) Network Services Network Adapter : Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller (Ethernet) Operating System Windows System : Microsoft Windows 7 Home 6.01.7601 (Service Pack 1) Platform Compliance : x64 Windows Experience Index Current System : 3.5 2) Optimization performed: • Required Optimizations o Run as Administrator - no o Disable Desktop Composition - don't think so o Disable System Startup Items - yes, leaving behind essential ones. o Hard Disk Optimizations - yes o Turn Off User Account Control - I think so o Adjust Power Options - yes o Enable Legacy FireWire Controller (FireWire interfaces only) - no o Install Latest Device Drivers (Pro Tools 9 only) - yes • Optional Optimizations o Adjust Processor Scheduling - no o Disable Screen Saver - yes o Display Performance - yes o Disable USB Power Management (USB interfaces only) - yes Troubleshooting • Not Hearing Input or Output - N/a o Default I/O Setup o Create New Session With Stereo Mix • Delete Digidesign Databases and Preferences - no • Disable Network Adapters - no • Install iLok / PACE drivers - no • Create a New User Account - no • Enable DEP - no • Other Configurations And I also disabled the Windows themes and some other non-essential services.

Re: Static-like crackle...
First off, integrated graphics can be a show stopper. Then there is the mis-matched RAM(which may or may not be a problem). Then, you should set Pro Tools to always run as admin, and turn desktop composition OFF(right-click on the PT icon and select Properties. There is a tab where you can check both those choices). Is Pro Tools installed on the C: drive(it should be)?
