Noise, clicks or dropouts
These are general checks, not model-specific compatibility certification. Start at low volume and change one setting at a time.
Check in order
- Record whether it is constant, triggered by actions, or present in the recording too.
- Change one factor at a time. Close unnecessary apps and retest using the manufacturer-recommended connection.
- Check official optimization guidance for your exact OS, software and hardware. Do not buy new equipment before isolating the cause.
- Compare direct USB, one buffer increase and closing heavy apps one at a time using a local track. For low hum, use the charging-noise guide.
- Record original settings, change one thing at a time and compare the same 30 seconds. Avoid updates or resets during a gig.
- If unresolved, record hardware, OS/app versions, trigger and test results in the support note. An untested step is not proof of a fault.
If unresolved
Record hardware models, OS/app versions, the last responding meter and test outcomes for official support. Do not infer hardware failure or a purchase requirement from unverified checks.
