Re: 828 es noisy front preamps
You don’t say your OS. If Mac, have you installed the new audio drivers released Feb. 16?
There’s an unreleased firmware update mentioned in a recent thread that’s helped others. Because of the holiday, it’s unlikely that anyone will answer the phone. Submitting a Tech Link is a good idea.
