Audio Interface Glitch

[sjoens]

Got a project that seems to cause my MOTU UltraLite mk3 to start producing a rapid noise loop while playing that continues when transport is stopped.

Only one audio track is soloed while playing.  Closing the project stops the noise.  Any ideas?

Now happens with every project after the latest Windows update.  Will try removing it.

Best guess is WU changed how windows works so the driver for it doesn't work with your version of windows anymore, or WU automatically updated the motu driver to a different version that doesn't work right.

Or WU updated some other driver for something else that is now interfering. 

Or WU resurrected some previously uninstalled or disabled driver for something else that is now interfering. 

Etc.

 

You can try going into device manager and reverting relevant things there, or if your version of Windows allows it you can try rolling back the update(s). (but any of those things could break the system, possibly to the point it won't boot, if something goes wrong, so backup your stuff first just like you would (should) before any updates are done). 

 

 

 

Stuff like that is why nothing on my systems and devices is allowed to update itself, ever, if it's working it's working.  (if it's a program that doesn't disallow this, I won't use it).

Thanks.  Restored the system to an earlier date than the update and reran WU.  Then checked and reinstalled MOTU drivers which were already up to date.  So far no beeps.

Narrowed the fuzz down to BREVERB, which is in most projects.  Not sure why it's fuzzing all of a sudden but turning it off clears the issue so hopefully reinstalling it will be the fix.

Does changing the preset to something different on the Breverb help with the noise?  I have occasionally had various plugins over the years suddenly develop some wierd sound that they shouldn't be able to generate....saving my preset as a new one, then changing to some other preset makes the noise go away, and then changing back tot he saved preset still works.   

 

Once or twice I've had to actually remove the plugin from the fx bin then reinsert it instead.

Using factory presets, but I did check a few of them to no avail.  So far deleting BREVERB and reinstalling it is working.  If it keeps behaving thru tomorrow I'll mark the title solved.

Sonitus Reverb had one or 2 nasty presets that spiked the track meters, but this is the 1st time BREVERB went sideways on me.  Probably a combination of events.
