Hello all, I have a seriously mind-boggling issue with my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen.
I bought it about 2-3 months ago and it worked like a dream for the longest time. I broke my laptop screen about 4 weeks ago so I stopped using it, until a week ago when I got my hands on an external monitor, and the laptop works fine with it. Now when I started using my Scarlett again, and I play audio on my DAW (I use Cakewalk by Bandlab) it keeps silencing the audio with this clean static noise, especially when I'm putting plugins or effects on the audio during playback, or during record monitoring, like when I play guitar or play samples through my MIDI controller. This issue doesn't occur when I use i.e. virtual drums with 0 plugins, the static noise doesn't come up. And when I close my DAW, it's no longer an issue.
So I thought maybe it's an issue with the DAW, but I've looked it up about a million times online by now and NOTHING seemed to help so far. Every problem I'm reading about is nothing like mine.
(I have attached a video to show you what's happening specifically)
Edit:
The attachment doesn't work for some reason, sorry about that.
Also, I updated the drivers for Focusrite, and before I did that, the sound would cut out the guitar when being played, every few seconds with the static noise, as well as any other MIDI like drums. Now, it alternates between which to cut out, sometimes both at once, and sometimes the static noise isn't even there, just complete silence for seconds.
