Just got my NFB-15 and hooked it up to my Macbook's USB 3.0 port. After about a minute or two, audio cuts out with a "kzzzkkk" sound and then I get a series of crackles until I go back into Audio MIDI Setup and change the output format. The time it takes the audio to cut out depends on what frequency I have my output at. It lasts the longest with 96kHz and about a second with 192. Anything above that is static and anything below 96 has a persistent cracking noise overlaid on the music like a jackhammer is running. What am I doing wrong?

new owner of the NFB-3DAC coming from a pci soundcard (lol huge improvement). paired with he-560 and a project ember. im in love. foobars equalizer and plugins only seem to mud sound quality. arent there some Audio GD equipment with a software console for equalizer adjustments. would like to play around with bass boosting
Same problem with a different cable. I only have one USB 2.0 port. Audio cuts out when using iTunes, Spotify, or watching Youtube videos in Safari. Chrome plays (most) Youtube videos just fine. Interestingly, girlfriend's laptop can handle it just fine, and it also shows up as "audio-gd USB audio", whereas on mine it's "Audio-gd". Her iTunes and youtube videos work as expected.
Well, if my triple post didn't make me look like enough of an idiot, here's the solution to round it off nicely. The OS X El Capitan audio driver looks to be a bit buggy. Restored my laptop from my Yosemite backup and everything is rosy.
Yo guys every time i try to set my NFB 15 default format from 2 channel, 32, 192000 Hz (Studio Quality) To 2 channel, 32 bit, 384000 Hz (Studio Quality) I only hear Static noise. Can anyone help with that?
I have the NFB 15 with s/n N-1514082076T, Windows 8.1, latest drivers (Audio-gdUSB32driverversion2) installed and I can select only 24bit 48khz as max sampling frequency. Sounds great though
Also ASIO works at this freq but fails on any freqs higher than 48khz.
I thought this thing was supposed to to do 384khz and I'm stuck with 48khz. Can anyone help?
Mine is second hand and I bought without the original USB cable... I uese a cheap cable (1.5m) I had around. Can a new quality cable fix these issues?
Try a different USB port, or USB 3.0:
The USB32 board has been pretty solid for me so far, the only issue I have had with it is it does not like the USB2.0 ports on my X58 Motherboard, I had the same issues only able to do 24/48 when plugged into my X58 USB2.0
USB 3.0 on the same motherboard works perfect though for all frequencies, DSD included

This is an old post you quoted, I have sorted it in the meantime (can select up to 32/384), I changed the cable for a quality one and then for the original that comes from Audio Gd.
