Crackling Sound in DAW Only When Axe-FX is On - Need Help

[Warrior]

I've been getting a light crackling sound during recording and playback (Reaper) and I thought it wasmy buffer size or sample rate. All of those settings seem fine.

I just noticed the issue goes away (During Playback) if my Axe-FX is off.

I"ve recorded direct to DAW using both USB and analog. Same issue.

Axe-Edt is closed.
Axe-FX CPU at 81% and 65% (tried on 2 different presets)
Session is with just 1 track and no plugins.

It seems this started when I upgraded to 9.04

What is going on for the Axe to cause this crackling in my DAW?

How are you getting playback with the Axe II turned off? Are you using another interface?

 

[Warrior]

Found the issue solution (applied to Reaper using an aggregate device for interface with Axe)

Audio crackling sound with USB to Ableton live

Yes, I am using an interface for playback (Audient iD14)

Ah aggregate device. Glad you got it sorted out.

Mine does that too when I'm playing back if I click on the audio device settings in the top right and don't change anything then close the window it's fine for a while then it will start crackling again don't know what it is it's in Reaper
