Hey there,

I would check your totalmix settings first. Make sure you aren't creating a feedback loop or similar.

Also Make sure you are recording the actual inputs rather than the playback channels in global record.

Isaac.

And why are you trying to set the sample rate to 192 kHz?

Okay, I checked "Bit Staticistic + Noise" in DigiCheck while playing a Playback from an external program. I recognized something really strange that makes me worried.

I have 2 different partitions on my pc: One for multimedia and one for audio production. Both are similar concerning sound settings. BUT: On my audio partition I can see MSB, Audio Data, LSB and AUX in green when I'm not processing any audio, and when I start a playback from an external program all the parameters switch to a blue "0".

On my multimedia partition it looks like this:

without any audio processing:

playback running:

What does that mean??

EDIT: The problem suddenly went away when I switched back to "record Inputs" and then again to "record Playback". However I'd like to know if those screens could be an indicator for the problem.

...which doesn't seem to solve the problem. Regardless if I set a samplerate in Global Record or not, I still have a record full of noise.

And you're right, I tried both recording an ongoing playback and starting the playback while record was activated...both isn't working. Your (surprisingly unfriendly, I might add) tech support suggested me to try solving the problem via total mix and the loopback function (the support didn't have any other solution), which didn't lead to a success so far as well.

@RME Support:

Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a tool to upload files in this forum, so I hope a rapidshare link works as well. It shows what happens if I try to record a playback with Global Record:

Concerning the Loopback-Workaround: Basically I tried what was written in the manual, I STRG+clicked my Output 1+2 so it turned orange, tried to set different playback channels, but still the same problem...it's possible that I did something wrong, if so I apologize. I'm a musician in the first place, no audio engineer.

The playback is absolutly clean. No missing samples, no popping at all. No burstouts, nothing. I'm not quite sure what you mean by temporary drive, if you mean my hard drive I use 2 SATA drives (one for music, one for multimedia which I use right now) with 160GB, and an external USB hard drive with 500 GB. I also tried to set different recording directories to make sure that the error doesn't occur from the external drive, but I get the same result.
