S/PDIF clicks in 48kHz and 96kHz only

Hello,

I have problem and am trying to see if others have similar issues, maybe possible fixes for it.

I experience clicks in the S/PDIF signal, but there are a few strange things around it which makes it interesting. Here are the facts:

• I am using my Kemper Head unit with S/PDIF in and out via a Focusrite Clarett+ 4pre. I am only using the digital i/o, no analog at all. (I prefer clarett+ preamp sound, and convenience with reamping)
• It is an older unit, so it acts as the master clock.
• I have been using it for a few weeks now without any problems. I am using 75ohm coaxial cables for both in and out. Both cables are about 2-2.5 meters long.
• Problem started to arise recently (few days ago maybe).
• I cannot recall if it is related to any profiler update or not. I usually keep the latest non-beta version, which as at the moment: 10.2.2.49572
• Clicks started to spice the my sound at degree that it is unusable anymore.
• The most interesting part: The clicks are only there at 48kHz or 96kHz of S/PDIF clock frequency. They are completely gone at 44.1kHz or 88.2kHz

Does anyone have any idea?

And welcome to the forums!

Thank you! 😊

Actually I was not using a daw. It is just the Focusrite with direct monitoring, so the problem wasn’t the buffer size. It could be a sound card bug as well.

The funny thing is that right after I started this thread, I restarted the Kemper. It works since that, and this time the problem does not come back. Maybe the cure is just to write on the forum

Thanks for the hints!
