How hot does your Ultralite MK3 Hybrid get?

Post by tomujio »

I recently just bought an Ultralite MK3 Hybrid and haven't been very happy about the amount of heat it generates. For simply being on (via firewire bus power) and not even being in use, it starts getting quite hot at the base and very warm all around. Can any owners of the Ultralite MK3 tell me if this is normal or not?

On another note, occasionally when i start playing a bit of audio on my laptop using the Ultralite, theres a sudden burst of digital noise coming through the left channel for a split second. Can anyone tell me if this is common and what to do about it?

Thanks.

It does get pretty hot, that's probably normal.

The noise could be from anything, DAW, drivers (ASIO vs WDM), firmware, NIC, wifi, display driver. Would have to troubleshoot/turn off all that to figure it out.
