MY ULTRALITE JUST WENT NUCKING FUTS!
MY ULTRALITE JUST WENT NUCKING FUTS!
All of a sudden the output of my Ultralite sounds like one big digital distorted mess, and the meters in its display are jumping all over the place. And now it's happening even while no music at all is playing. A whole bunch of crackles and pops.
what the fucking fuck?!
Any ultralite users here had that problem? HALP!

Just curious, when this happened did you have it plugged directly into the wall or USB power only?

i dont think its a buffer issue. I've been running it at the same buffer (256 samples) for months without any problems at all. Dont see why all of a sudden it would have anything to do with it, especially since I wasnt even running any intensive projects on Live or any other DAW for that matter. I was just listening to some tunes on someone's MySpace profile
Were you in NY or Puerto Rico? Could be a voltage fluctuation from the wall. The Mac would probably be a little more immune to a voltage sag, but the wall wart for the Ultralite wouldn't be. Hoepfully just a fluke.

oh, I bet it was a flaky clock going to your box. windows and other OSes probably aren't completely elegant in their interface to audio gear. the chips in your sound card are driven from those clocks, if they change rate too fast or drop out or do something like that they can lock up. all those chips have certain specs to them, things they can and can't tolerate. my bet is the OS burped and locked up the design, no biggie. that code wasn't written by audio people, it was computer people with no understanding of what can happen with audio gear. I wouldn't sweat it.aqua_tek wrote:I was just listening to some tunes on someone's MySpace profile

Did you at least try it? On my computer, I was able to run certain sessions with no crackling at 128, same with 256, but at 384 i'm not experiencing any crackling at all in any session. Even the previously affected sessions.aqua_tek wrote:i dont think its a buffer issue. I've been running it at the same buffer (256 samples) for months without any problems at all.
