Hi

I finally started messing around with the Scarlett after upgrading my Linux kernel to 4.0, which gives the full mixer capability.

After I had got it going and was listening to a track I was working on, I decided to crank up the gain and hear the song at a mid pressure level, not ear splitting but so i could feel it.

After playback had ended, I was sitting and just fiddling with computer related stuff, and then I thought, what's that noise?

2 noises,

1: A high frequency whine at about 10k similar to that made by old CRT TV sets.

2: A low-mid 'chatty' noise that sounds like digital electronics working.

Both were independent of the volume know, i.e. same at 0 and full crank.

Noise was definitely from the Scarlett, all other channels on the monitor mixer were muted, and muting the Scarlett removed the noise.

@ Mike, I see you did a nice review of this unit. Did you notice any problems with the unit you tested.

Second question, if there is noise on the output D/A, how clean is the input A/D? will I get this on the analog lines in?

Thanks
