the second problem is that every time i use the virus as the output for logic 8, when the track im working on peaks, i get this nasty crackling sound in my speakers. this only happens when the track physically peaks, regardless of the output volume. is this a monitoring feature of the virus, to tell me that my music is peaking? or is there something wrong here?

my C does that when all way up even if my fw410 is down lo
