Jack, There a could be several causes to this problem. I assume you have the latest drivers for all of your equipment (if not start there). You did not mention what type of PC and operating system you are using. If you are using a older PC with less than 1 gig CPU, CPU could be an issue, or if you have a newer PC and are running a lot of other tasks that could be problem too. Begin your tests making sure no other applications are running. Assuming you running Windows XP, open task manager and monitor CPU usage to see if it spikes when the clicks occur. Also using task manager, open the processes tab, sort by CPU usage, and watch what is running and see if something appears to grab CPU time when the pops occur. If your motherboard is older than 2 years, you may have an interrupt problem. Check in Control Panel/System Settings/Hardware to see if the sound card has a interrupt conflict. I am not sure what you are using to play your music, but if it has settings for sample rate check to see if it set to 44 vs. 48. Which ever one is active, try the other one. Lastly try a different program to play the music and see if that helps. Thats all I can think of for now. Lynn
