Sound breaks up or there is noise.
The processing load on the computer causes sound to break up
and noise to occur.
Here are some methods to reduce the load on the computer.
1) Wireless networks and software (including antivirus software)
running in the background puts processing loads on the
computer that can cause the sound to break up and other noise.
Stop wireless LAN transmission, antivirus software and other
software running in the background when using this unit.
2) Set the buffer size (latency) in the audio application that you
are using or in this unit's Mixer Panel to a larger value.
NOTE
Consult the maker of the audio application that you are
using for ways to reduce its load on your computer.
3) Change the settings of your computer so that they are
optimal for audio processing.
