Changing outputs during playback causes digital noise on input channels

I don't recall ever running into this before, so perhaps it's something in one of the newer releases. I was playing around with this more last night and it does not happen with playback stopped, so I guess the moral of the story is...don't change inputs/outputs during playback. :)

Thanks for all the responses guys.

It's probably less likely to occur with an Avid interface. 3rd party hardware tends to work swimmingly, but every now and then (ahem... "Antelope!") they don't play nice with PT; not speaking their exact language and all.
