Firstly, I am disappointed just now to find out that my Mackie Onyx 400f has been discontinued so soon....
I have a new PC I just built and I just hooked up the onyx 400f for the first time with my M-Audio Bx8 Monitors. And the speakers are very annoyingly ringing when I'm not in an audio editing program (Ive only tried audition.) And when I am in audition I still get a hissing sound. Not really loud but I can barely make it out from the chair.
Im using the Onyx 400f (link to Mackie for product) with some good cables too.
I am using Windows 7 with the only available drivers from mackie's website for the 400f which are listed for "Vista only". And they are working I guess? The problem I am having is ringing monitors when I'm NOT in a sound program like Adobe Audition. I open audition and as soon as I choose Onyx 400f as my sound drivers the ringing stopped and only a slight hissing remained. Odd?
So im guessing its the motherboards onboard realtek audio drivers or hardware causing the ringing? And when adobe takes over completely.... the ringing stops. And furthermore this might make sense because the firewire is on the motherboard next to the onboard sound inputs kinda... ? On my last PC I had a separate PCI firewire card. Maybe I should do the same for this computer for transfering audio data through firewire?
ive also disabled realtek in win7's configurations, etc. I have yet to uninstall the drivers though.
What do you think? I've never encountered this.
With Audition Open I dont have ringing but I do have a slight hissing coming from the tweeters. ... odd, has to be from using the firewire on the mobo or the "windows vista drivers?"
please let me know your thoughts on what I should try or what might be causing this?
