JCcares Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I record music on an Imac (Snow Leopard OS10.6.8 ) with Logic pro & a Presonus interface.I had been having a lot of sound leakages such as crackling & popping on the interface.Recently someone suggested that I go to Audio devices & right click on it the built in ouput to select 'Play alerts and sound effects through this device' & when I did so the disturbing noises stopped.Recently I had to make some changes on the interface,disk repairs etc & the noise came back in unfortunately.I tried to do the same setting by going into Audio Devices & selecting Built in output options but suprisingly I am unable to select the 'Play alerts and sound effects through this device' options since it is not highlighted.In fact none of the 3 options are highlighted inorder to make a selection.Is there a way around so I can do what I did previously?

IMUR Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 This is a long shot, but you might want to go into your interfaces settings and make sure that the clock source is set to "internal." Besides that, my interface can be a little bit wonky when the connection isn't solid. If your interface uses a USB connection make sure that it is plugged in directly and not through a USB hub. If it is firewire, it is best not to daisy-chain it through a hard drive or FW hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
