It's somewhat of a stutter clicking sound. The sound I'm talking about, I never heard it, from windows 98se with Pro Tools 5.0.1, up until 8, when I tried to run PT on Windows 7 64bit. I think it just doesn't like Windows 7, and maybe more importantly, the 64-bit drivers don't work properly. Far as I remember, when I tried the interface with pro tools 8 and Windows 7, it was probably the same sound.

I just assumed the problem was with the mbox2. My problem could very well be a s/pdif issue, as I hear a similar sound in PT9 when I have my clock set for 44.1 in a 48k session. And I definitely can't use the mix knob, because I just use the interface as a dongle for my Apogee mini A/D and D/A. Higher than that, it doesn't really do it, but I can't record at 512 and above because of the latency, and an Mbox doesn't have low latency monitoring. With the buffer size set at 64, 128, and 256. With one audio track and zero plugins enabled on a quad core with 8 gig ram. If we are talking about the same problem, mine does it randomly, till I change the buffer size.

Regardless what interface would you guys recommend to replace this AND do you think I'm doing anything wrong. I hear people tell me all the time I shouldn't be having these issues with an mbox, I also hear people touting on about how they're at 64 buffers without a problem, and I'm sitting over here with a 1000 dollar SUPPOSED music laptop and can't run a damn midi projectĪlso my mbox only allows me to access 1 S/PDIF in, 1 out, and 2 in's.it's a 4x4 interface though. Similarly my laptop will max out on certain projects 90%, that are only 5 minutes long and only contain MIDI data (given I found Izotopes stutter edit and Ozone are the main culprits of this and this only occurs with them) HOWEVER.even at a buffer size of 512, with the CPU usage at around 35%, I get clicks, distortion, cracks, and pops in my audio. Using the Mbox with drivers downloaded from avid 2-3 months ago

I have an HP dv7, i5 turbo processor maxes at 2.8ghz, got 2.5 TB's of HD.
