OK Guys,
So I have a hackintosh with the specs in my signature.
I am running 2 2408MKII with a pcie-424 card.
It does work but I get random faint clicks and pops. Its almost like a clocking issue. I have tried the card in both pcie slots but it still has the artifacts. Doesn't matter what port it is in on the 424 or if I use the 2nd 2408MKII.
I thought that the card might be bad so I took it to work and installed it on a PC. It worked flawlessly. No faint artifacts or clicks. I used the same sound files and played them through iTunes, quicktime even played the same youtube FB vids with out any issues.
Tonight I put the card back in my hackintosh and the clicks were back again. However now that I am listening to itunes and typing this I don't hear any, but I am sure they will come back as they always do.
Its seems to be a conflict with the driver and something else. Like I said before it sounds like a clocking issue when two interfaces are out of sync on different clocks.
Any ideas,
Should I remove all apple audio kexts?
I am going to look into adding Nullcpupowermanagament. kext
or delete
AppleHPET.kext
Any idea?
I also tried it on another ML drive and had the same artifact results.

MAybe time for a fresh install with out any apple audio and just the MOTU drivers.
PS. Its been 2hrs now listening on itunes and not a single click or pop or artifact. Weirdest thing. I had it when i first turned the machine on but now they are gone. What the heck?
