I recently got my AxeFX unit used. It sounds great thru the guitar, but I have been having issues with its USB audio using my primary PC.
When used as the interface, there is a static-like clipping noise accompanied with every sound coming out. It's silent when I don't play anything. But playing music is unbearable and I have been trying to resolve this ever since it arrived. I have tried several things as listed below, but no matter what I get the same static noise.
I don't think the AxeFX is really at fault, since with my laptop the sound was fine with no noise. Also the guy I got the unit from said he has never had this issue.
I would really like to use and control this unit with my primary PC, not my laptop. Reinstalling windows was my last resort, and now that it didn't resolve it, I'm bummed out and out of ideas. Also my PC is currently in safemode with all apps removed, which sucks.
I'm hoping you guys can help me out here...
Thanks in advance.

- Sample rate is set at 48kHz
- Buffer size didn't make difference
- USB firmware of unit is 1.15
- Tried different USB cables
- Tried different USB slots, 2.0 and 3.0
- Tried latest driver, as well as driver from 2 yrs ago
- Removing some audio-related apps didn't help
- Reinstalling windows twice did not help (all apps removed)
- Other sound outputs connected to the PC (like my Onkyo AV receiver with Bose speakers) works fine
- When connecting to a different PC (laptop), the audio from the unit actually worked like it should
- There was no noise with a FM3 using this PC, just one week before I got the Axe.
