Sever delay and cracking noise with guitar

I have my electric guitar plugged into my MacBook via a USB cable. Never had a problem using it until today. Since the last software update (which was supposed to FIX latency) when I use guitar effects in GarageBand there is a crackling noise and distortion, along with a sever delay between between hitting the string and hearing the sound. Anyone have any idea what happened? I changed nothing on my end. Must be in the software update. The delay and distortion and crackling noises are so bad I simply cannot use guitars in GarageBand, much less record them. Help!

Thanks for the reply. My cable is a First Act USB cable that I got at Target:
http://www.amazon.com/First-Act-222-USB-Cable/dp/B001D2GQHU/ref=sr13?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1297089473&sr=1-3
It worked perfectly until the latest update to Garage Band 11 was released. I strongly suspect it is not the cable, as the cable does not seem to require a driver. The Mac auto detects it. Is nobody else having this problem? Maybe the cable just happened to go bad immediately after the Garage Band update?

  • Distortion and cracking noises together with hitches in video

    Hello,
    I have a question concerning the quality of the media on my laptop, concerning both graphical and audio gliching sounds and video crashes. They seem to occur at the exact same time so I'm guessing there is a connection beween the two of them. The specs on my laptop are:
    Hewlett-Packard HP ENVY 17 Notebook - 2,40 gigahertz Intel Core i7-4700MQ - 64 bit 
    I use my NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M video card mostly but I have tried switching between the other standard video card Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600. 
    I have been using this Notebook for a few months now for school (I'm using a pretty heavy 3D design program, inventor), music, films and games. Until now it completely lived up to my expectations and I'm a quite content user but these noises and distortions are killing me. They occur with both my headphones and without (just the speakers on my laptop) about every 5 seconds. My notebook proudly wears the Beats Audio brand (honestly I don't believe that should guarantee anything concerning audio quality, it just so happend to be on the laptop that had drawn my attention.)
    Now I have done a little research on the subject, after trying basic solutions like reinstalling my audio drivers and in generally looking up previous updates and checking the log, I had found a few threats that suggested it might have something to do with windows. but the Windows 8 help proved not to be sufficient to solve the problem.
    Can you maybe help me out on this case?
    Thanks in advance for the help!
    This question was solved.

    Hello JustSomeUser,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    Thank you for providing the troubleshooting steps that you have already done. Due to the video hitching and sound quality being poor at this time. I would suggest restoring back to the original graphics drivers. I have included the document 'Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 8)', After reinstalling the original drivers, please restart your notebook. Now you will have to reinstall the updated drivers. I have included the document 'Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 8)'. Please follow the steps for Updates and tune-ups.
    Does this happen across all programs, or just particular programs? Are the programs that it does happen on Internet based? What file type of movies, and music are you playing? What player are you using to play movies, and music?
    As well could you provide me with the full model number of your Envy 17. If you need it, I have included the document 'Guide to finding your product number'.
    Thank you.

  • External Usb Audio Card Popping and Cracking sound with Satellite L500

    Greetings,
    My name is Boyan and I am from Bulgaria and about an year ago I've bought a satellite laptop from the l500 series ( i can not state which exactly is the model at the moment because my computer is not currently with me and on my user manual the only thing which is stated is that it is for L500/L505/ L500D / L505D . But by memory I think it was the Satellite L500D-ST5506 which is currently not at my dispossal because I gave it for repair for the same problem which I will state down below)
    The problem with my laptop is that when I plug a Usb Audio card in my laptop I have a cracking sound when live sound is played trough the speakers/headphones from the external card. I've tried numerous audio cards and speakers/headpohnes which work perfectly fine with other computer, including laptops but the same problem keeps on showing up in the headphones/speakers of my laptop when I am using an external audio card to connect them to the laptop.
    The problem is prominent only when the sound signal passes trough an external audio card and it is very annyoing since I use my laptop to create music and i've bought an expenssive audio card and speakers which can not be used with the laptop. I've tried 3 models of audio cards:
    M-Audio Fast Track Pro
    Behringer uca 222
    and a simple external 3d sound usb audio card and the problem still appears.
    At first I thought that the problem should be software and I should install new drivers although windows 7 automaticaly recognizes and intalls the drivers for the devices and I have sound in them (but with cracks and popps) so i tried using the official drivers sold to me with the audio cards but with no luck: The problem was still there. I tried finding new drivers of the audio cards on the official distributors websited and i've downloaded them but the problem was still there. Then i tried to delete every audio driver on my computer and just use the external audio card for sound but this dint help eighter. I've updated my drivers for my build-in audio card as well but again - no luck.
    After that.the frist thing I did when (2 weeks after i bought the laptop) was to contact the store from which i bought my audio card and they stated that the problem may be eighter latency or high voltage from the laptop so they adviced me to try to lower the latency from the settings or to try and see if the problem remains if my laptop is only running on battery. I've tried both things and they didn't help. The audio cards worked without a problem on every other computer I've tried them on except mine. So they said to me that the problem couldnt possibly be from the audio cards .
    What I did next was I gave my laptop to the official distributor of toshiba in my country so they can fix my problem. What they said to me was that the problem is caused from the version of windows which was pre-installed on my laptop and that it wasnt compitable with the audio cards (which was bizzar sounding because I've tried them on the same windows and they've worked, just on other computers). So I got back my laptop and changed my operating sistem from Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit to Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 64bit to Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 32bit and on all of those versions the problem was there: whenever I activate a Usb Audio Card and audio signal passes trough it I heard cracks and popps. I even tried isntalling Windows XP but the laptop wants spesific SATA drivers for the installation of Windows XP which although i did find - they didnt help me install XP and I didn't want to go in to the BIOS of the computer to try to put a new one and so on because I am not so sure about that and I could lose my warranty so I said to the official repair store for Toshiba in my town to put XP on my computer to fix the problem but they can't because they are not liscened to operate with software which doesn't have a recipt for its purchase ( which i didnt because i bought my windows xp long ago and i've lost the recipt)
    I gave it for repair for the second time telling them that the change of my operating system did not solve my problem and what they did was they changed the whole motherboard on my computer, stating that the build in realtek audio device on my computer is not good enough to support an usb audio card or it maybe broken and they have to change the whole motherboard because the build in card is glued to it, so they did that but my problem wasn't solved. They told me that although I am using and external usb audio card the signal still passes trough my internal one and I have to disable it so i tried disabling it trough the control panel but this did not solve the problem and i do not have an option from BIOS to disable my build-in audio card. Another thing which I thought maybe causing the problem is that the two audio cards aren't working on the same bit rate and Hertz so I set both cards to 16 bit 48000hz DVD Quality (Also tried other options on the 3 cards i have) but...the same thing happend.
    They told me that this is just my luck and that the build in audio card doesn't support this external audio cards and I should had been more careful when choosing my laptop at first.
    I couldn't accept this awnser for several reasons:
    1) This audio cards work on lower version of windows and are supported by much older models of Realtek and much older computers (one of them was bought 2000!!!!! and my laptop is from 2010!!)
    2) The guys who were fixing the problem apperantley didn't go in so deep in to my problem because they didn't know what actually the problem was they just knew that there is a problem with the audio card and the computer interacting with eachother, they didnt know that there is cracking during live play from the external audio card.
    3) I can not accept the fact that Toshiba is manufacturing models with chipset audio cards which can not support a simple external Usb Audio Card. This is totally unacceptable for me and I truly hope this is not the case!
    4)They didn't try my audiocards on an other laptop from the same series stating that they do not have one at their dispossal at the moment so I will go tomorrow to a local store and try the audio cards by my self on the same computer in the store.
    What I did now was I gave back my laptop for repair asking for a statement of the problem in wrtting with all details of the problem so I can go to court or ask for a new laptop but I will be charged with some money because according to them there is no problem in the laptop and the problem is that my external audio cards arent compitable with the build in internal chipset audio card. If I give my laptop for repair and there is no hardware problem I will have to pay some money. I will do this but I am now mad, since this will not solve my problem and I am loosing time and money.
    What I am asking here is, if you can not help me solve my problem and advice me what to do to fix it, please provide me the details of the chipset build in audiocard on my motherboard, so i can investigate if it is compitable with my external audio cards and contact the audio card dealers to ask them for their opinion. Or if you can tell me with what it is compitable with and with what not, it would be great. I personally think that this laptop should have no problems at all with running a simple external usb audio card but I am asking you, if you know something more about that.
    If the problem is from the build in chipset then Toshiba is manufacturing (or at least selling) audiocards which aren't at a normal standart but sadly I cant do nothing about it except complain to Toshiba and never deal whith such productgs anymore. In the other case if this is not true, then my laptop has a problem which is different and I will have to go to court with the repair mans for not fixing my laptop or not giving a new one when I have warranty which will not be Toshiba's fault and It will in a way solve my problem.
    I hope you understand how Important this is for me and I hope I resolve the problem as soon as possible.
    P.S
    I would like to state that I am well aware of the grammar mistakes I have made in the text below and I would like to ask for your apologies as I am not a native English language speaker.

    hi i just like to say i had a similar fault though i would be surprised if it causing yours,but you never know,my fault was my laptop lid, [9 months old] it contains the mic ,and when the lid was in a certain angle crackles could be heard worse when i had my external sound card in, it was a faulty membrane [ lid to body] easily missed by engineer because it was the same angle all the time it happened,good luck, PS you English is very good

  • Popping and staticy noises with iMac

    I do music productin with the iMac so this is important to me. At the moment my computer seems to be generating little staticy or popping sounds about half the time an action is taken. This can happen when opening an application, when opening a web site, and today it happened when I was writing automation in Logic Pro 8. I don't think it's my sound card because, if I take the sound card out of the picture and just use the internal mac audio, it's still there. Is there a buffer that needs adjusting or something?

    I may have the same problem with my new iMac but I would describe the noise as sporadic, low rumbling that seems timed to my activity on the computer. When I first took in my iMac with this problem, an Apple store Genius guessed hard drive or fan (sounds more like the former to both of us), and my new iMac was swapped for another new iMac. The latter iMac does the same thing, though, but the noise is perhaps a bit lower in volume. Apple store folks want me to bring in the big 24-incher once again, although I'm tired of doing that and wonder if I should just live with the imperfection. Some more advice, please. Thanks.

  • Making knuckle cracking noises after repair, Apple Store said it's "normal"

    I sent my MacBook Air mid 2011, the first time, to an Apple Store because it failed Verify Disk and was unable to re-install OS X (Repair No.: R88048332). When I got it back and found strange knuckle cracking noises whenever I held it and moved around.  I further found a few screws on the lower case were not tightened. And with a little pressure with my thumb and pointer finger, I could see the lower case near the touch pad went closer to the upper case.  When I held the MBA with my right hand near the hinge and the power on key, I could hear clearly multiple knuckle cracking noises.  I went back to the Apple Store, and the technician said it was normal because it's re-opened after factory assembly.  Eventually they re-screwed the lower case but no improvement was made.
    Has the case been bended or damaged?  It's still under AppleCare so what can I do?

    Yes, it's an Apple Store in Sydney, Australia. 
    I brought the MBA to another Apple Store and a guy there found the loudspeaker on the left side could not be aligned properly and there were other things inside to be re-aligned.  He also pointed out a dented corner on the keyboard side upper-left corner (not the lower side) and a few punched edges near the ports on both side and a number of scratch marks on the top (Apple Logo) and the bottom.  They were all new and not found when I took the MBA to the Genius Bar two days ago.  (Before giving the MBA to Apple Store, there was no scratches or damage as inspected on the spot.)
    I thought my MBA had been dropped to a hardground at the first repair service in the Apple Store. I could not think of anything otherwise.
    b.t.w. It was initially a non-recoverable Verify Disk problem as reported by the Disk Utility 10.8.3 and the SSD could not re-install OS X either. That's the reason of my first visit to Apple Store.  When I took it back, I found that I could not make the Recovery Disk USB and by Option restart, I found no Recovery Volume. That's why I took the MBA back to the Apple Store and asked them to re-install OS X properly.  Over there, I also showed them the click and crack noise.  The tecnician said he was very sure that my Time Machine backup was corrupted and thus during the restoration, the corrupted TM backup erased the Recovery Volume!  (I don't believe it.) I took out the TM backup external HDD and immediately inspected it with Disk Utility, there was no problem.  And later I restored the same TM backup to the MBA with no problem, and the Recovery Volume was there.  I don't know why Apple Store opened the MBA's case when it was only an OS issue.  and I cannot understand why a software issue will make my MBA's alumnium case clicks and cracks forever with dents and scratches everywhere!

  • Background noise with electric guitar

    Hi, I'm playing my les paul into a cheap (like $100) m-audio fast track interface, and picking up the signal with the usb on my macbook pro. I am using the audio port to send the signal to my line 6 amp.
    I am quite sure i have set all the necessary settings correctly in the sound part of system preferences but i still seem to be getting background noise when i play. If i turn on the noise gate it takes away the background noise on dead time but if i play anything clean and turn it up i'm getting a buzz or something in the background.
    How do i get rid of this, do i need a better interface,or a studio to actually record in or what. should i use an expensive mic instead and put it next to my amp? im just lost. i want the best sound and dont know how to get it....please help

    There is confusion here the interface says m-audio fast track on it. I got it from a friend that is all I have used besides garageband and my guitar. My cable is a monster and should be fine in my opinion.
    I started garageband and opend an electric guitar track. with the clean combo.
    My input was set to mono input 2 , input one gives me no sound and more background noise.
    After that I still got background noise, its like a fuzz, i read alot of ppl talking about a ticking sound but its definetly not that. its just staticy
    ill try the headphones though...any other tips?

  • Cracking and popping noise Sound Blaster x-Fi Platinum Running on Windows 7 32 Bit

    Hi everyone, I am using a x-fi platinum card and it simply wont work with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit. I have been using both windows 7 public beta and release candidate for last 8 months. Let me give you my PC configuration.
    Intel Pentium D 3.4GHz
    2GB DDR2 Memory running in Dual Channel Mode
    ATI Radeon HD 4670 Video Card With 52MB DDR3
    It has a built in sound on mother board (Disabled at the moment)
    With the above configuration I tried using my x-fi platinum on both Windows XP and Windows Vista, and it worked perfectly without any problem. When I upgraded to windows 7 beta for the first time with the creative beta driver for windows 7, I noticed that whenever there is any on screen activity, such as minimizing and maximizing windows, switching windows, scrolling, photo or webpage transition, etc. there are cracking and popping noises. And if there are continuous or too much activity on the screen at some times the sound card completely fails and unable to provide any sound. When I took the sound card out and enabled the on board audio chip (Realtek HD Audio), the sound was fine without any cracking or popping issue. I eventually upgraded to Windows 7 RC and also currently using the latest driver for windows 7 and I am still having the same problem. As a reasult I am being forced to use the on board realtek audio solution which provides really crappy sound compared to x-fi platinum.
    It appears that the problem exists only when I try to run x-fi platinum on windows 7. I really hope there is a solution for this otherwise I will have to sell my beloved sound card which I have been using for at least 3 years on ebay and stick with low quality Realtek HD sound system.

  • Cracks and Pops noises coming out while recording on garageband using Boss gt-10

    Hi
    since I downloaded the new Garageband v.10 (Oct. 2013) and OS X Mavericks i have a problem now recording my guitar thro garageband using the boss GT-10, during recording, the sound comes out some Pops and Cracks.
    i did turn off the noise sound and i been setting up in a clean sound.
    does anyone else have this issue? does anyone know how to fix

    i figured out that i need a new usb driver for my gt 10, it hasn't been released yet, and i'm not sure it will remove the noises that will resolve my problem, let's hope so, i've been waiting for the driver for a week. it's taking long!

    press downloads
    it should have GT-10 USB Driver v1.0 for Mac OS 10.9

  • BAD static and background noise on Amplitube, with iRig and iPad 3

    Hi all,
    This has been dealt with in a different forum on garageband, but I am interested to find out if others are having this issue. To note - this is with
    Amplitube
    iRig
    Ipad 3 ( this part is important )
    Scenario;
    If I uplug my guitar from my iRig (idea being to remove all external noise influences) I get a constant clicking and fuzz  (seems to sit around 160bpm). Making sure its not the inbuilt metronome, and going to IK's website to follow all directions specifically and exactly - this noise will not go away. If i record a track - the noise gets recorded with, and it can be easily reproduced in the following scenario ->  an ipad3, iRing and amplitube. In fact, i have tried various IK Multimedia apps ( ampkit, iRig Recorder and Amplitube free and purchased!) and the noise seems to be consistent with their software.!
    First off - i went back to the music store, who tried various iRig's - all had the same issue. We even tried my iRig in the store's own iphone - and it sounded perfect. So it wasnt the irig itself.
    In tandem with this above - i had raised a case with IK multimedia ( Ticket #311578 ) who after hearing about the music store episode - mentioned that it must be my ipad. So i made a booking with apple and off to the store i went.
    Apple noticed the noise straight away (and its loud in there during lunch breaks!) - and replaced my Ipad3 on the spot!. No questions asked (he even thanked for doing so much background work to identify the issue)
    Guess what - noise still there.
    Apple then tried an ipad1, ipad2 and ipad mini - all of which DID NOT have this issue. So, it is only the ipad3.
    Apple then (to their credit) raised it higher within apple to R&D, who spent a week on it and responded by saying ( and i quote ) " Nothing has specifically changed between the headphone jack on the 2nd, 3rd or 4th generation or ipad mini, so it is a compatibility issue between your iring and your device and the 3rd generation ipads, and please contact the company (IK Multimedia) to see if they have any solutions for that"
    So i then responded the IK multimedia. What did they do?? They closed the case without any communication. I waited a week ( thinking they would be working on it ), when i logged back in and saw that my last email had been doctored to look like i was a happy customer and apple was at fault........ nice.
    So i wrote back and re-opened the case. They responded by saying
    "We do apologize for any inconvenience caused.  However, in this case, it appears the issue may have to be followed up with Apple, not with IK Multimedia"
    Not sure what to do - its really really bad. If I turn a distortion pedal on, or try to record anything - it drives me crazy. Even my girlfriend who knows ZIP about anything technical said "Whats that clicking noise when you play guitar?"
    Im just looking for some others out there who may have this problem. As it is easily reproducable - surely I cant be the only one?
    love to hear from you
    Trav
    ps - I tried to post this in IK Multimedia's blog, but they locked it so no-one could respond. nice.

    I have looked into this ticket, the threads created and our support notes.
    1 - We have tested all of our iRig products with the new iPad 3 and they all work fine with AmpliTube.
    2 - Any  thread created on the IK forums are locked once passed to support.
    3 - We are more than happy to work with Apple as we have done in the past. Hook the support up with Apple support and we'll work on it.
    4 - Support referred you to Apple as the issue is with the iOS device and not our product. (Confirmed by your own testing at the apple store)
    If there is something we can do to help, we will do it. Period. We want our customers to be happy and make good music. If you'd like a new iRig, lets make an exchange happen. Want to try different one, lets work out the price difference, but the issue here isn't with AmpliTube or iRig.

  • Packet-Delay and Reordering with a SG200-18-Switch

    Sometimes we see an issue that the switch delays a fragment up to one millisecond. And the delay may cause reordering...
    We are using a "SG200-18 18-Port Gigabit Smart Switch" with the following Version:

    We looked in the configuration of the switch but we can't find something, so we assume that it might be a bug in the switch...
    It is also remarkable that sometimes the same fragment is delayed by two  different Cisco switches in the setup; so it may be be something about  the content of the packet...
    Any suggestions, what it can be? Thanks in advance!

    Hi Jger, is this for something like a message of the day? What are you using UDP 17 for?  UDP is still best effort which the switch may not necessarily be faulted for. You may try something such as turning off spanning tree on the ports to see if that can help somehow.

  • Clicks and pops when running Mainstage 2 with Guitar Rig 5 in Mavericks.

    **I've read that this may be unsolvable but I hope someone can help me**
    Hello everyone,
    I very recently upgraded to the new Macbook Pro 15" Retina as my 2010 Macbook running Snow Leopard is on it's way to Apple heaven. This means I am now on Mavericks and **** is ******, it's my fault for not upgrading sooner so I am to blame in some respects. Here is my issue.
    My set up is fairly basic:
    Mainstage 2.2.2 (I can't upgrade to 3 as the synths we use are not 64bit compatible.. another nightmare due to my lack of upgrading in the past)
    Axiom 64 MIDI controller via USB
    Guitar Rig 5 controller via USB (audio interface)
    In Mainstage we have the L output for virtual instrument parts and the R output for guitar parts. These are globally panned L and R.
    The L output from Mainstage goes through the Guitar rig footcontroller out the L output through a DI and then to the mixing desk. The R output goes through the Guitar rig controller out the R output and straight to the guitar amp. Simple way to do both keys and guitar.
    We never had any problems with this in Snow Leopard. With Mavericks this setup is unusable due to the clicks and pops shooting through the guitar amp. It doesn't matter whether the voume on the guitar itself is turned up or down it's still all "click POP.. CLICK pop pop click" Mainstage just seems to be sending these pops regardless if anything is being played or not.
    When I ran the same session through my Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 there was no popping on the virtual instruments so I'm thinking it could be a guitar rig issue.
    Can anyone help me with this? I'm sure a lot of people are finding the same thing... **** I know a lot of people are getting the pops without guitar rig involved. For now I'm going to continue to use my old Macbook but I'd LOVE to have the new one running smoothly!
    Thanks a lot!

  • My front screen of my iphone 4 is cracked and if I bring it in to be fixed can I replace the front and back glass with a different color?

    I recently dropped my iphone 4 and cracked the front screen if I brought it in to be fixed can I get both the front and back glass replaced with a different color?

    No. They will not. The replacement will be identical to the old one. You always have the option of buying a brand new phone for the full retail price.

  • Audigy 2 problems with spdif out not working and cracking appear

    Hello everyone,
    I am new in this forum but after searching through it i decided to post as i din't find a problem exactly similar to mine.
    I have a Creative audigy 2 ZS plugged on my computer with this configuration : Gygabyte P35 DS3, Quad core Q6600, Kingston 2 gb.
    From the beginning of my purchase i did not have any problem of cracking or connection problems in spdif with digital din in either XP or Vista. Last week end i decided to re install XP after a virus infection with XP SWEET wich install directly the drivers of my peripherals like the audigy.
    The audigy is connected to my speakers : Creative? 5. kit 5700 via the digital din connection and without any analog connection as i selected digital out only in my settings.
    Everything was working fine until 2 days ago when? while watching a divx the sound stopped working. i checked everything in m connection and everything was good as well as my speakers. finally i connected the audigy via analog cables to the speakers to find that, if i select digital out only no sound could be heard and finally that poping and cracking sounds started to appear.
    I don't know what happened with my system as it never did that before in any of my configurations.
    When i reboot my computer, the digital out start working again to finally stop 5 minutes later.
    If somebody can help me is help would be most welcome.
    Thank you!

    Well, I do not know much about the red light thingy, but if the S-Bracket works well, it should be not problem, unless you can't get anything from the S-Bracket.
