Mbox and windows xp crackling sound
I have a Mbox runing on a 1.7 ghz P4, 512 MB. asus motherboard. windows XP professionel, protools 6.4
When I record a track, the sound "crackles" . The problem is not during playback of old projects (they sound just fine) I bounced the crackling track do disk and listened to it on another pc and the crackling is still there, so I guess the problem is in my computer or in protools (the Mbox works fine on my Ibook g3). I tried all these things: 1 Reinstall protools. 2 ran through "tuning windows for audio" guide from www.musicxp.net 3 Changed usb cables 4 tried with different mics and cables 5 moved the Mbox around (to avoid any interference from what ever might be in the air) 6 changed playback buffer 7 upgraded to windows SP1 (and not SP2 as digidesign has a warning about this) and I tried some other strange things withch I don´t remenber anymore(I am really tired off this [bleep] now) I have a audiophile2496 soundcard installed for midi-purposes only -could that cause the problem ? Or maybe my usb port is kaput Could anyone please help Quote:

Re: Mbox and windows xp crackling sound
Try a powered USB hub. I know digi recommends against a hub, but people with "krackle" noise problems have reported success using powered hubs.
Also, a search on this forum for "mBox noise" turns up lots of results and potential solutions.
