Live 10 Audio crackles

[slow.robot]

Hi guys! Anybody solved the issue?
I noticed yesterday crackles started after about 1hr of experimenting with my external synths. I use an Arturia Audiofuse Rev 2 as audio interface, Live 11, and had plugged in 3 synths with mono outputs, and 2 other instruments which were sending audio into Live via USB. The crackles started by the time the Audiofuse got hot (as they usually get). Even with only one synth track playing the crackles were still there and they were even more frequent or intense when the sound of the instrument was higher in volume (signal) or more complex, for example the peaks of a bass or lead line. I hope is not because of the Audiofuse USB 2.0, because it gets me tempted to switch to a Focusrite interface with Thunderbolt 3 (my laptop is compatible, ROG Zephyrus G17).
I deactivated all the MIDI clips except the one for playing the synth but still the same.
In the settings I set it to ASIO4ALL so I can use the USB audio inputs from a Roland TR8S and a Digitone.

Thanks,

if you use only one interface and its associated ASIO driver, do you still get pops and crackles? I had a similar issue trying to use ASIO4ALL in the past with multiple interfaces, and it turned out that was the culprit. probably not the answer you want (I certainly didn’t), but at least it might eliminate the crackling.

Late answer but I solved the issue. It was the power supply, I removed all the cables and re-connected but without power extension cord, it worked. It happened other times as well and I just changed the power plug into a different (more direct) socket. Probably a tension stabilizer will also solve the problem.

Before I got a proper power conditioner, I used a small APC uninterrupted power supply “UPS” to clean up the signal. As current passes through it changes from AC to DC and back. The process reduces a lot of the noise audio gear tends to capture and/or amplify
