I bought a new DAW in May 2011 and had a SB XFi Titanium Board installed. I didn't get satisfactory result before a series of family illnesses stopped all music activities. I am now back in reasonable shape and I have started to look again at what the problems are. So far it looks as though recording is the problem with artifacts being recorded which cannot be heard during the record process. There is some improvement using the ASIO drivers. I have tested the onboard RealTec soundcard and this seems to be affected the same way. I know that the SB Audigy 2 card in my old DAW worked without a hitch for some years and I think I will install it in my new DAW and see what happens.

Another source of disquiet is the Amp/Speaker setup which I suspect has a loose connection somewhere.
