Pops And Crackles On Logic 7

Hello,

I'm a music producer. I produce commercial pop, dance, and classical music. I purchased a MAC G5 for my work, for professional audio production.

When I'm trying to record, the audio through my speakers and headphones crackles/snaps/pops every few seconds. This 'popping' seems to be more 'there' when moving the mouse. The 'popping' only exists when I'm playing or recording audio.

This 'popping' is apparent in recorded mixes

This problem renders the entire machine useless for professional audio production work. I have read many forums on similar topics, and tried the following remedies, but to no effect:

1. Install CHUD tools, disabled 'nap' mode.
2. Installed new mouse drivers
3. Disabled font smoothing
4. Increased I/O buffer size

As a music producer who is new to the industry, I have saved and invested a lot in this machine. I'm very dissappointed that a fault exists which renders it useless for my work.

If anyone can help with this problem, I would be very grateful.

Many Thanks,

Matt
