Apollo digital noise during streaming Soundcloud and Coffee break grooves

Im running an iMac (2010) with the latest software "maverick" and the latest software for the apollo.
When I stream Music from Soundcloud and Coffee Break Grooves i get constant digital noise in the signal.
There is no noise when playing from iTunes or Logic 10. Just a Streaming Problem.
I have reset Apollo to 44.1 ect. ect. with the only change being the noise differs slightly.
If I down load the song that I streamed and play them back, there is no issue with noise. Noise is only while streaming.

Please help....
Thanks,
Greg

This is a known problem that some are having with UAD Apollo and Mavericks.

I fixed it by going back to Mountain Lion.

Hi gsozz, I have stubbled across a 'Temporary' fix for this issue. I would be interested if it fixes it for you too.

Go to 'System Preferences' and then select 'Sound' and then choose the 'input' tab. Then, what works for me is if I just select the Apollo as the input - HOWEVER, don't select it as the input and then close the window, or even move onto one of the other tabs (Output, Sound Effects). You have to let it stay where it is, but you can minimise it.

If it works for you I will submit a support ticket. I don't know if this would mean a fix by UA or a fix by Apple.

Good luck

Hey Ed,
That fixed about 95% of the problem as long as I don't switch from input. Going back and forth from input to output brings back all the noise when on "output".
Thanks for the lesson!

Ed,

Now that I listen with headphones I can't hear any issues as long as I follow your instructions.

Installed 7.7.1 and Mavericks and all the previous Mavericks system noise issues now seem to be resolved
