What OS are you running? Also what are your computer specs?

It sounds like an audio interface problem as it is happening even when listening on-line. Do you have WiFi? If so turn it off and see what happens.

Are your drivers up to date? That includes your video card drivers.

One experiment to try would be to eliminate the Focusrite and use that crappy internal sound chip, probably a Realtek chip. Does the problem go away? If yes then you have either a bad Focusrite interface, bad wiring to and from it, a bad driver and/or your buffer settings need to be set correctly.

If the problem didn't go away you have a computer problem, possible a power supply problem.

Good luck and let us know how you make out.


I think my wife has started to show the first signs of dementia.
She said she can't remember what she ever saw in me!

64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
