Help! Crackle in 48 + 96 kHZ settings, EMI 2/6!

Hello, Ive been trying to get live to work properly with the EMI 2/6 in OSX for sometime now. I have a Powerbook g4 800 with OSX 10.2, 512ram, with EMI 2/6 usb audio input device. Live's audio input (via the 2/6) works fine in 44 kHZ sample rate, but when change to 48/96 crackles and dropouts appear, no matter what I do within Live or in the OSXaudio/midi utility. I should mention that this only occurs when recording/monitoring audio in live. Is there anything I can do to test if the problem is live or the 2/6? Right now I am using Live in OS9, where all the sampling rates work fine, would like to switch over. Any ideas??

Have you tried recording audio with another application?

There seems to be quality problems with the audio engine in Live under OS X.

In my limited experience, other OS X audio applications do not seem to be afflicted with these issues. Seems to be a Live-specific thing.

I have only Live as audio (importing) application, is there a shareware one I could download to test? I really want to figure out if it is Live or the 2/6 that is at fault so I can contact their support directly on the matter. Thx!

Check out Spark ME from TC Works (do a Google search). It is a free OS X recorder.
