I recognized something in the same direction.
In my Windows System it belongs to the recording Software wheter multitrack will be recorded without noise or with noise.
Tried it with Ardour and had really hard noise in the tracks.
With Reaper I have really good Recordings.
For me it seems like it belongs to how the Software is “speaking” with the Audio device and if a mix Option is possible (ASIO In, but WDM out). Wenn this Mix is not possible, all is fine, but if you mix the Audio Options than it run into Problems. Perhaps there is something wrong with the ASIO Driver?
