Thanks.

Lots of good suggestions here to try. I won’t reply to all but I am taking everything in, and thank you all.

Already Tried several different usb cables but all were the same length.

Yes, the Focusrite is 24-bit internally but that cannot mean it only deals with 24-bit input signals. And, the same setup of 16-bit throughout has worked for years. Still, I’ll try it. The experience of having only 24-bit working is persuasive.

I’m also finding far less clicking when I power down everything each day. That continues to make me suspect bad capacitors in the Focusrite act up when on a long time (weeks).
