If it works there then you know that these are 'normal' clicks and dropouts, which need an optimized computer to get rid of.
Because I hear clicks quite often when I need to use headphones, I never heard 1 click when I use monitors, I never got any clicks in any recording or monitoring hardware stuff..
I think that's a valid statement, otherwise I would have noticed as it happens with the headphones, because I use headphones just sometimes and monitors and hardware stuff connected to the inputs, all the rest of the time.
Also I have 2 buss Firewire and now I got a rid of the other Firewire interface I was using, so I have one FW bus only for the Fireface, connected with FW 800 to the Mac Pro mother board, no way to get FW bandwidth clicks or drop outs, when I was using two interfaces with only one bus FW I got some drop outs in the recording, but not in the headphones...
Anyway, in these days is working properly, so even if I connect it to my laptop surely I will not get any clicks.. to figure out if the problem is the computer I should use another computer for, say, a week, a month.. as I use this one, and my laptop don't allow me to work on it as I do in the Mac Pro.. that means I ask you other way to figure this out because I can't loose a week or a month working on the laptop, it is simply not possible..
Thanks
P.S. I also think, if the clicks appear continuously, I could disconnect and connect to the laptop to see if it does the problem, but probably, turning off and then on the fireface, probably the clicks will stop.. anyway, next time they'll appear constantly I'll try on the laptop
