When I record through my Xone42s sound card the recordings are regularly messed up by some kind of static noise. It's pretty unpredictable when it happens, suddenly the recording skips half a second and then the noise kicks in.

Here is a sound sample: http://www68.zippyshare.com/v/50355646/file.html

Setup: Turntable > Xone42 output > sound card usb in > usb cable > MPB > DAW for recording. It does sound like a loose ground wire but I don't hear it through my headphones or speakers. The noise occurs between the sound card and my computer.
I replaced the usb cable and rca cable from the output to the sound card.

Any ideas?
