like TIm I also have problems with this noise, although in a different situtation.It comes if I open a new channel in SX and If using Absynth ?!?In the first case there is just a loud squack like if you shut down your pc with the boxes being open.The VU meter is then pushed up to the max, +60db !!!I have to close all programs and restart them so this stops

please help,
