Every now and then I get a really loud pop when I'm listening through the Sonica...it happens when click a link or something in an audio application. I have no problems with web browsers or Photoshop or anything, but often enough when I click a link in Rhapsody or skip ahead to the next tune in Windows Media Player.

Every usb soundcard/DAC combo I've used has some kind of unpleasant noise like this, but with the Sonica it's loud enough to be painful, and possibly dangerous to my 'phones and eardrums.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions on making it go away? Recently I've just been turning the volume way down before doing anything that might set off an electronic firecracker in my ear.

Don't know if it's related, but my sonica (using digital out) resets the connection after every sound interruption. That is, if i click to the next song, or even if windows makes a noise like a message box, the sonica resets the connection with the DAC.

My friend is having the same problem. Though I'd say it's more of a sound that resembles tearing a piece of paper. The sound pops every once in a while, like when it's loading webpages, etc.

Does anyone have any new info on how to fix this?

Thanks.

more information would be useful you know..like which drivers you were using...

 

[Zoide]

He's using the latest driver from the M-Audio website.

Could it be a low RAM - latency set too low combination?

 

[Zoide]

Maybe. Is there a way of adjusting the latency?

Those are version 1220. Version 1205 is assumed to be better, you can download it from here. But I guess the problem isn't caused by the drivers...

Thanks. But I think that the problem is with my friend's USB ports. Now USB mouse isn't working properly, and we tested it in another computer and it worked fine.
