Hi, i bought my UX2 from a fellow softie here a year ago. It was fine. But I've recently bought a new pc and am using my UX2 as my soundcard. it surprises me with occasional loud crackling, "exploding"-like sound, like something that you know, irritates your ears like that, that cancels out the sound that you're listening for awhile. I don't know how to explain in words. It occurs every time I watch a movie, stream youtube video or listen to music. what is puzzling me is that there's no problem whenever i play my guitar using pod farm. oh yahh!! when idle it's fine too. it seems like it only happens when i watch a video or when i listen to music. i've tried everything that i could think off..like updating the drivers and all but to no avail. im running windows 7 32 bit. have you guys ever experienced this before? haiya..sad sia.. hahaha anyway, hope to hear from you guys soon. have a nice day!
