AudioBox 22VSL pops twice each time sound beings to play
Posted: Thu May 18, 2017 6:04 pm
I recently installed Universal Control 2.0.2.42749 to my new laptop so I could use it with my AudioBox 22VSL, as an audio interface to my Presonus RM80s. Laptop is running updated Windows 10 Home.
I've noticed that every time audio begins to play, the speakers click twice, and then whatever sound was about to play. Ex: When Thunderbird receives new email, it plays a little notification "ding" to let me know. Before that ding plays, there's these two little pops and then the sound.
I don't have any trouble when music is playing. It's not like a bandwidth issue where audio buffers are running out (after all, I'm only using a 2 channel device, and not doing anything intense; just using it as a sound card; no DAW nor recording happening). It's almost like a power-up sequence, or some kind of initialization. But, the power LED never goes out, so it doesn't seem like that's an issue.
It's plugged into a powered USB2 hub because my laptop has only a single USB Type A jack (the others are USB Type C) and I have the 22VSL and my keyboard plugged into the hub. Nothing really spectacular.
Any thoughts?
