It's a lot, but I really need some help. My Eleven Rack makes clicking/popping/buzzing noises whenever it playbacks something. I noticed this first when I tried to use a Pro Tools instrument and a Reason synth. The unwanted noises are not constant; happens only if something is being played. For a weird reason, it also distorts the Mini-Grand instrument on Pro Tools. I do not have studio monitors, so I use my headphones that I plug into the Eleven Rack phone output. My interfaces, MIDI controller, external hard drives are all plugged straight to the computer. My computer only has USB ports. What I've done: -I thought it might be that my computer couldn't handle the M-Audio Axiom Pro midi controller and Eleven Rack plugged into it at the same time, so I tried unplugging the Axiom. Then I opened up ProTools LE again, but the same thing happened when I played with the instruments with my mouse. -I've lowered my processor from 2 to 1 (this to solve the problem with that annoying "CPU running out" issue) -I've increased the buffer to the max. -It's not the headphones either because I tried using them through my M-Audio Fast Track Pro and they work fine. -I "directed" my sound output to be the Eleven Rack (making all output sounds come from my headphones plugged into Eleven Rack instead of my speakers). Then I played some songs on iTunes and it does the same thing. I hear popping/crackling sounds when the music is playing, but they immediately stop when I pause the song. -I've noticed that my sound card goes wack from time to time...I had to update the firmware and re-install a couple of times to get it to work again. It crashes on its own at times when I open the volume control on the bottom right hand corner. I don't think it has anything to do with my main problem, but it's still annoying... Thanks for helping! |

Re: Eleven Rack makes Clicking/Popping Sounds
clicks and pops are usually the hdd. which hdd is your audio drive, and do you have the necessary motherboard sata drivers loaded?
edit: and turn off the network controller. Mike.

Re: Eleven Rack makes Clicking/Popping Sounds
are you recording to USB drives? USB drives are not supported, that can cause your clicking problem. another internal 7200RPM drive or an external 7200RPM drive hooked up via Firewire or preferably (for external) E-SATA is needed.
Your ram is mismatched. The timing are different and can cause many problems. But even if the ram is not a problem, by installing ram with a lower timing (5300) your other ram (6400) has to be down clocked by the Bios, so at minimum you are not getting the performance you should be getting. You have an AMD Dual core. You will need to install the AMD dual core optimizer. You are on XP SP2, you should update to SP3. Quote:

Audigy cards are known to be problematic when used in a Pro Tools system. It is recommended to remove the audigy card. Quote:
Have you tried changing the USB ports that you are plugging into? Have you made sure to set XP so that it does not power down the USB ports?

Re: Eleven Rack makes Clicking/Popping Sounds
Thanks for the help.
I tried changing the usb ports and that fixed it...embarrassing.. I'm also heading over to return my WD My Book and get an eSATA external hard drive like you suggested and probably get another 1Gig stick of Kingston ram. The problem was that the (Bad Id) ram was 5300 while the Kingstons were 6400, right? (I'm gonna take the (Bad Id) ram out and replace it) I am also updating my SP2 to a SP3 and installing the Dual-Core Optimizer. Hopefully, all this will eliminate any more errors! I'm also gonna get a new sound card. The Creative Audigy sucks anyways Last edited by itsjedward; 09-13-2010 at 03:41 PM. Reason: grammar |

Re: Eleven Rack makes Clicking/Popping Sounds
Creative audigys cause problems? i havent had a problem with it in my PT system, i just didnt install the driver in windows 7, and im stable for the most part. (i say for the most part because i get the unexpected 68xx error) i wonder if it has anything to do with it.
As for your system, i would deffinatly get a new internal HDD, completely get rid of the memory you have installed and get some matched stuff. It will improve stability. Nick

They have historically been problematic. Some users claim to have no problems with them, but several users that I have helped over time had problems that nothing but removing the audigy solved.

Re: Eleven Rack makes Clicking/Popping Sounds
I had this happen but I just load up Pro Tools and it stops. I believe it is improper boot order (always boot computer up last!) and nothing to do with hard drives. I sometimes just want to turn my laptop on and everything else is on my power conditioner. Today, I had my video drive attached and had the popping noise. Pro Tools did something by loading it that fixed it, but I just remembered that Pro Tools hardware does not like to be turned on later.
