    Default Sound quality problem pls help!

    I have a audio to 6dj that is basically brand new, the problem is that the sound quality starts to become sh*ty if i mix for 1hr +, a very static sound, it kind of sounds like a lofi effect is turned on full. The audio 6 is plugged into its own separate power source and I have no clue how else to avoid this from happening. anyone have a similar problem and knows how to fix this?

    If you unplug it, i.e. turn it off, then on again. Does it still make a wierd sound?

    If so, is it hot?

    It sounds wierd that its breaking up after a certain time of use. I'd assume if it was a driver problem then it would happen all the time. It could potentially be that you have a dodgy A6, maybe some of the compoments &/ heatsinks arent sat right.

    Unplugging it and plugging it back in doesnt fix it, but if i change the sounds kbps (for example if im at 44100 and go to 48000) the sound becomes back to normal, which is strange seeing that it is a higher sound quality?? but this is not a good solution bc as the change is being made the music stops playing for a good 3 seconds, so i need to find another way. Maybe the audio 6 itself has an issue, not sure i bought it from a guitar center brand new a few months ago.

    what have you got the latency set at? have you used the device updater to flash the firmware? Are you using the latest "V.3.0" drivers?

    Also try to swap the USB port to see if this helps.
