What happens when you play a CD, wav or mp3 located on the PC, if they are also a problem then I'd be digging into PC sound path.
Have you tried another interface, take the laptop into the place where you were/are doing the audio course and they a couple of theirs.
Focusrite stuff has a pretty good reputation for reliability.
Still waking up and only halfway through the 1st coffee, I'll keep thinking on it
It happens when playing back audio from any source on my laptop, be it mp3s, wavs, cds, system sounds, Daw software, apparently from what I've read from visiting a few online forums, I'm not the only Scarlett 2i2 owner that's experiencing the crackly distortion sound issue, there's also some 2i6 and 18i8 owners experiencing the same issues, I've just plugged my Scarlett 2i2 into a spare usb port after doing yet another clean install of Windows 10 on my laptop, I haven't installed any of the proper Focusrite 2i2 drivers yet, I can occasionally hear some slight crackling, I checked in Device manager and it gives the following error message for Focusrite control:Originally Posted by dave.king1
The crackly distortion audio issue seems to get worse after installing any version of the Focusrite 2i2 driver software, funny enough, when I use my Scarlett 2i2 with my desktop pc the audio is crystal clear, so, I'm wondering if there's some weird hardware compatibility issue with the 2i2 and my laptop?
Also wondering if it has something to do with Microsoft's most recent Windows 10 cumulative updates for 2020, cause the issue started after the cumulative updates were downloaded and installed, but then again, my studio pc has the same cumulative updates installed on it.
Found this forum while looking for a solution to the 2i2 audio issue I was experiencing:
