Hello everybody. I’m new here, but I feel so old about this problem that is creating so much problems in my job: I’ll explain from the beginning:
1) I’ve bought the mixer, linked to a notebook (Asus TUF Gaming, Intel i7 11800H, 32GB RAM, nVidia 3050) on type-C port: crackling.
2) Changed the port: USB 3.1 (the only option): crackling.
3) Set the options for the USB power management: crackling.
4) Changed the cable with an expensive one: crackling.
5) Simply… turn off the WiFi: PROBLEM GONE! When I turned on the WiFi, the problem returned (also if not connected to anything, just activated).
I was so happy and I used it for a whole year without any kind of problem. But I needed WiFi, so I changed the WiFi internal card (AX211) with a Realtek one: crackling.
So I restored the last working card (AX211) but… the crackling sound returned and it didn’t went away, even without the card installed. What a mess, an incredible mess. Thinking now at the problem, I would easily bouth an external router and went with Ethernet, btw…
I decided to build up a new computer, this time not a notebook (on a PC, maybe, I can buy or modify almost everything so…), with the only task to run ASIO driver on the QU-16, a DAW and some VST’s:
Gigabyte UD Z790 – Intel 14700K – 32GB DDR5 – 750W good PSU (no Video Card, used the integrated one). I’ve used a good USB cable, connected to a USB 2.0 port (don’t know if it’s a “real” USB 2.0, but it’s written USB 2.0): after 3 hours of clean stream… CRACKLING SOUND!
I’m so sad: I’ve built a brand new good PC only for this and still having this problem. Any kind of help is appreciated. Sorry for the bad English and thank you.
