Where do you have the unit placed? If it's near anything electronic, especially
a computer, try moving it away, does it change anything?
Also, do you not hear the noise when the microphone is not plugged in? If not,
do you have other mics or xlr cables to test?
Regards, DJX

No, its powered from that usb cable. doesn't seem to be super consistant as its
not always doing it. unfortunately, more often than not at this point so guess
need to do a bunch of switching around of cables and try to determine where it
could be coming in. I don't hear it on a line in signal like my guitar but only
hear it coming in when monitoring the microphone. Dave

Hi Dave, I can't remember if the unit is self powered or USB powered, but the
sound you describe can be EMI interfearance coming from the computer. It
could be the computer motherboard, the power supply, or the chassy not making
good ground with the components and therefore the signal is getting dirty
somewhere. Do you hear this sound even if no additional peripherals are
connected to the unit except the USB plug?

Second Generation
Hello Chi, I've also found this interface to work very well and with
sonar, you have access to more adjustments. However, I am experiencing
a problem as of late and wonder if you or anyone else has ideas what
it could be. This is ran through usb and when listening to the monitor
and using a mic with fantom power, I am hearing a low frequency motor
boat type sound on occasion. Not sure if its the computer, the Scarlet
or what. Doesn't always happen when fresh reboot and most of the time
its in there. Decided to try different usb ports yesterday and didn't
notice any real difference. suppose it could be in the power supply of
the computer. Any experience with this. otherwise, a great little
product and like it much better than the M-audio that I used and was
totally inaccessible. Like the knobs and switches. Dave

Hi All,PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
Sorry for the cross posting, but I'm sure it'd be useful information
for people looking for a new audio interface.
I just bought a Scarlett 2i2 second generation, and played for a day.
I wanted to let you know what to expect in terms of accessibility.
Let's go from good news to bad news.
The hardware is 100% accessible. Everything is switches, knobs, and a
button.
On Mac side, there's nothing to install, it works out of the box.
There's an optional low latency driver. Even if you install the
optional driver, there's no software for control panel.
You set latency and sampling rate in your DAW. This is no problem if
you use Pro Tools and Logic, but if you use software that doesn't let
you adjust latency, this might be a problem. One example would be the
latest Garageband.
I might have missed, but I couldn't find where you can adjust the
latency outside DAW. I didn't see anything about it in the manual
either. This should be a problem for everyone, not just VI users.
On Windows, you have to install their driver, and unfortunately the
Asio panel is not accessible. Screen reader reads only minimize and
maximize, not even the title. I haven't tested, but this might not be
a problem if you use wdm or Asio4All.
If you need an affordable, simple, secondary audio interface, it fits
the bill. There you go.
Chi
