Hi,
All of the sudden, when I play back audio, there are pops and clicks, as soon as cubase is opend. Not even a project, just cubase. It pops only when there is audio, during silent breaks etc. everything is fine.
I’m using an UAD apollo Twin with Cubase 13 on Windows 10. This setup worked fine for years and I didn’t change anything. It also doesn’t seem to be a sample rate problem.
When I record something the pops are also recorded.
When I close cubase and play back some external audio via the apollo twin, everything is fine, so it seems to be a problem with cubase setting?
Anyone an idea?
Thanks and a happy new year!
Does the Audio Performance Monitor show any peaks?
nope, all good there
Sorry, I don’t understand, if no project is loaded what audio are you referring to that is popping?
For instance a song on spotify or the audio of a youtube video.
If Cubase is closed eveything is fine.
However, that might just be a weird side effect, or a hint what could be the problem. The main thing is, when I play audio in a project it pops and clicks. I just tried using generic low latency driver, same thing. Clicks/Pops…
Sorry, I think made my post unnecessarily complicated.
What interface are you using, no dedicated one? I assume not, as you’re not mentioning an asio driver. Did something change in your setup?
The interface is mentioned. It’s the Apollo twin. Has windows updated at all?
Everything should be up to date but there was no big update, also i can’t recall seeing the “shut down and update” lately.
Apollo Twin is probably not the problem as the same thing happens with the Generic Low Latency Asio Driver.
Another source of the problem could be Sonarworks, maybe?
I have tha same problem. My interface is a Tascam US-4X4HR.
To try to fix the error I uninstalled the cubase then I downloaded FL Studio, I worked then I reinstalled cubase and it worked for a cumple of sesions and now is broke again.
Have you another way to fix the problem?
I just realized the clicks/pops are rhythmic exactly in seconds. They basically sound like a very digitally distorted metronome in 60bpm. This is so super weird.
But maybe that gives someone an idea what could cause the problem?
Thanks for trying to help!!
Ok, so a small windows update seems to have fixed the problem but now I have random CPU-spikes; even in close to empty projects. What is happening??
