Jittery you tube when played thru Axe2

[gtrjunkie]

When trying to watch you tube videos or even play itunes through my Axe FX it is very jittery. I'm using headphones on the Axe and ubs to my WIN7 laptop.When I disable the Axe FX in playback devices and go just through the laptop speakers everything plays just fine. Any ideas why this is happening?

Probably sample rate. Axe-fx is locked in at 48.

Windowz latency. Buy a Mac.

I'm kidding. I'm not kidding. I'm kidding.

If you have other demands on your Computer and your Axe II (you have Axe Edit running, you have Fractal bot, 10 IE tabs open, Photoshop...you get the idea), get rid of those. Microsoft products (who run on the concept of 'hardware is cheap'...which means you need 3 times the processing speed,) tend to not like to do alot of things concurrently.

There are options to update drivers (google update driver Windows <insert version>.) Check that too.

Bottom line, it's *probably* not an Fractal problem, but local to your PC.

Ok thanks but what does that mean? I've heard the term as far as recording with the Axe but I don't do any of that. It plays mp3's just fine like backing tracks through the Axe.
