Crazy noises using USB as output device on iMac

[drawnacrol]

I'm using my Axe-Fx II as the output device for my iMac.

Periodically when I'm using iTunes or Logic Pro everything turns to complete noise full of hissing and screeching.
Turning the Axe-Fx II on and off fixes it but its a very strange bug.

Is it a problem with Apple or my Axe-fx. I'll take a video next time it happens.

what firmware on the axe?

what is the CPU usage of the preset?

Latest firmware, very low CPU usage, just overdrive-noisgate-amp-cab-EQ-reverb

Also make sure that the USB port used is on the computer itself, not an extra one from a keyboard or something.

I had this, did my head in, it was a dodgy USB cable, try a different cable.
