The sound breaks up or there is noise.
ª
The load on the computer causes sound to break up and
noise to occur.
Methods to reduce the load on the computer are
introduced below.
1) If a wireless LAN, antivirus software and other software
that run in the background are operating, they
regularly put burdens on the computer, which can
cause sound to break up and noise.
Stop wireless LAN transmission, antivirus software and
other software running in the background when using
this unit.
2) Try increasing the buffer size (latency) setting in this
unit's control panel or in the audio application that
you are using.
NOTE
Please check with the maker of the audio application that
you are using for methods to reduce the application’s burden
on your computer
3) Change the settings of your computer so that they are
optimal for audio processing.
