My mate is having bad sound issues with his MacBook Pro i5, audio 2, Mackie MR8's mkII's, xone 42, and a kontrol X1! You can be playing fine then all of a sudden the sound distorts badly then after a few seconds goes ok again, it sounds that bad you have to turn it down until it sorts itself out. He's on Traktor pro 1.2.6 with the newest audio 2 driver. Its not a crackling or popping like a latency issue, its a full on distortion (like its clipping really badly).
We'v tried the obvious, reinstalling the audio 2 mac driver (newest one), changed the usb cables, changed audio cables, tried different channels on the 42. Latency at 10ms and sample rate on 44Khz (which should be well within what an i5 mac can handle).
The audio 2 works absolutely fine on my core 2 duo macbook pro, the only difference being I mix internally.
Another thing I should say is we think this only started happening after the X1 was added to the set up?
Any help would be top, obviously it's not a cheap set up so any ideas that you think could help would be appreciated.
cheers!
