Some more questions: is your Focusrite a 2nd generation unit, and what happened with the original driver?

Could you describe the noise you hear with more detail? For example, in my case it was a loud click at the start of each file (turned out to be a sample rate mismatch).
Maybe that other thread was me too, you suggested I get the Scarlett. It is a 1st gen and I plugged it in and set the ASIO settings in BIAB and my laptop, don't recall any prompts to install a driver so I emailed Focusrite and got a driver from them. This static is a random crackle from time to time in some songs. I played a hour show the other day and heard it maybe 6 times, I played 22 songs. Not a big issue and I doubt my audience noticed it. The melody latency would be nice for previewing song files when I don't have my horn setup. In the past I have always gone with quality wire, just believe best wire ensures quality sound.
