[PlanetCCRMA] m-audio Delta 1010

[Aaron Trumm]

I don't know about the specifics of your problem, but that noise is often
due to incompatible sample rates, or cables that aren't quite handling the
digital signal right

for example, if I were to set my Darwin at 48khz and plug into a dat machine
and play back a dat at 44.1, I would get that noise

also, occasionally I've had the same thing when i attempted to use a normal
rca cable for spdif i/o (I have some normal rca cables that work though)
