**Crackle with Audio2** Not sure if this is the right place but I wanted to know, is there a fix for the crackle using the audio2 with Traktor2 or Ableton? ---

Found the script, ran it and still, when I have the Audio 2 plugged in, you still hear the crackling buzzing noise. How can I stop that? Btw, Audio 2 drivers are: 2.0.15.7 ---

what is your latency set at? maybe increase it a little and make sure your wifi is turned off. ---

Also, I have my latency set on multi/media games and it runs smoother and doesnt use the CPU as much unless what its needed for which is great. But still noise crackle and pop w the Audio2, with or without running Traktor. Does this sound card have any fixed issues regarding this? ---

my wifi is turned off and simply running something like winamp to hear a track before even using Traktor, the crackle pop sounds are running on a stand alone computer. Again, this is only when I plug in the Audio2. ---

you should always make sure your speakers are turned off before pluging in your sound card. you can run this latency moniter and it will tell you what process are using the most memory and affecting with the audio 2. > **[Resplendence Software - LatencyMon: suitability checker for real-time audio...](https://www.resplendence.com/latencymon)** > > LatencyMon: suitability checker for real-time audio and other tasks ---

I had a similar problem in Traktor when running my CDJs in Thru mode. My solution was to make sure that I had my inputs set to Line rather than Phono, as the default was phono. Dunno, that’s what worked for me =/ ---
