I 'm running ProTools LE with an MBox on a 466 G4. Sometimes when I'm mixing a session or worse, when in the middle of recording, I get this horrible crackling noise, the song freezes, and I get an error message stating I need to increase my USB Buffer size. I DID THIS, BUT IT DIDN'T HELP! AAAAHHH! It also says for me to delete tracks and/or turn off some effects, but that's absurd! Those actions would be contradictory to the purpose of recording itself, WHat the HELL?!?! It will even do this after I only had TWO tracks running and NO effects at all! I don't get it, and I'm about to throw my MBox through my new 17 inch monitor. UGH!

From the extreme end of the spectrum, maybe related, maybe not: I know of a situation that developed with a MOTU 2408 where it randomly and spontaneously started exhibiting a crackling storm, dancing meters and all. All the software fixes were tried repeatedly. After the obligatory period of condescension from MOTU techies, after the obligatory "check all connections" and "is the unit turned on" and "is there a solar flare" and flaming hoops, they finally said, "Hmmm. Well it's very unlikely but it *could* be the hardware."
The short story is that they actually replaced it, and there were no further problems. Just don't entirely forget that it ain't *alway* user error. If you still have to throw something, target a plate glass window instead of your monitor: it's much more satisfying, and costs less to replace.
