828mk3 crackle on 2011 Macbook Pro running Yosemite

Post by Martinukai »

Hi people. Any advice on my issue here?

Please listen to the crackle in the brief audio clip in the link below:

This crackling appears every ten mins or even more often when using my Motu 828 with Ableton. It worsens and becomes more frequent if I raise the sample rate in my DAW

I've followed various online guides.... matched sample rates in daw and interface / increased buffer / lowered bit depth / tried different daw. Same result:(

Points to note:
I had exact same problem with last interface (Edirol FA101) but less severe. I thought that the Edirol was broken which is why I bought the Motu.
Same result occurs using any DAW on my computer.
I have tried using it with another Mac (running Yosemite) and the same issue occurs.
The included motu firewire cable is connected via one of these 400 to 800 adapters:

I have a feeling this is a bizarre Yosemite issue, though I could be way off.

Any tech savvy folk with some ideas on how to remedy?

Cheers:)

Martin
