Yeah, same here... I notice the issue more when using Pro Tools, but that's only because I'm using Pro Tools a lot.  It happens outside of Pro Tools as well... I hope we figure this out soon!

Here is hope that the new driver 1.73 fixes the problems reported in this thread:

https://archiv.rme-audio.de/download/dr … ac_173.zip

Please try it. Closing Settings and TM FX is not the solution as it seems not to be the culprit either, just triggering the error a bit earlier. More details later. The driver also includes the latest TotalMix FX 0.983.

Driver 1.73 has now been released. It includes a workaround for a bug that we reported to Apple, and seems to originate on their side. The error mentioned in this thread has been clearly fixed with this workaround, operation is now stable even under long-term conditions.

I hate to say it, but the problem is happening again... the same fix works (toggling the sample rate), but nothing else seems to fix the issue.  It seems to happen when not in use for a while (such as just now, I'm working in Pro Tools, I went and made coffee, came back and it was stuttering/popping).  I just upgraded to 1.75 (from 1.73) in hopes that would help, but still nothing.  Anything else I should try at this point??

For me it's been so wishy washy... I had the error on the 3rd, didn't have it for a solid week, then had it twice more.  I have NO idea...

I am having the issue as well, sudden distortions sounding a lot like a bit crusher on all channels...

Windows 8.2, Babyface Hardware 223, Driver 1.166, Driver Date 16.11.2018.

It occurs during use of CuBase or under Win Audio. I do have a feeling, it happens more often, when Firefox is open, but that is just a guess. Today I am also sometimes getting sudden crackling sounds every now and then.

I am in deep trouble here...

Hi all,

I noticed last night that the output is emitting a humming noise at about 90hz, which I could only hear after I turned up the volume to a higher level than usual yesterday. The distortion occurs on both the main outputs and the headphone outputs. I don't have it with the inputs. does anyone know where this is coming from and how I can get it out.

I have several interfaces and have checked them all to make sure it is not the speakers or cables. None of the other interfaces have this problem, only the original babyface. I have been using this with the facurite saffire pro40 as a standalone via ADAT in/out to expand my inputs and outputs. Any help is greatly appreciated.

No the gain was completely down and the phamtom was also off. But the measurement mic was still plugged in, I have now disconnected the mic and the signal is now lower and not as strong, but it is still there, at about 180 hz I would say. And I have to turn the volume up more than half to hear it like before, but the distortion is still there. Is this normal with the babyface?

Also, every 3 minutes or so I hear a very strange noise that comes on and sounds like the aliens are trying to reach out to me.

No, not yet. Would a total reset change anything about the driver? It took me so long to get it working that I don't want to repeat the whole process again.
