odonnell1521 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Hello All, I've noticed in the past couple of weeks that, when I connect my Klipsch R-41 Speaker pair to my iMac through the USB connection, the audio that plays through the speakers seems to contain sparse intermittent pops and glitches. Most of the time it's subtle, but other times you can hear it quite clearly. This does not happen when I connect through Bluetooth, only USB. I've tried using a different cable, but I still hear the pops and glitches. Does anyone know if there is a fix for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, the USB might not be getting enough bandwidth to keep a clean signal going. Especially if your iMac is an older machine. It would be better to use an optical cable (first choice), or a 3.5mm to RCA splitter cable (second choice). USB bandwidth is iffy for a continuous, perfect signal. Too many "unknowns" about your machine, hardware level, OS and patching revisions, etc. @odonnell1521 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if there is a fix for this? 1)- do all the USB Ports of the iMac ,yield the same result of pops and glitches ? or just 1 of the ports -- test all the USB ports , if the issue remains , go to step 2 2)- we need to determine whether the pops and glitches stem from the iMAC 's USB connection on the main-board or whether the issue is related to the R-41 speaker . plug the R-41 Speaker on a different PC or Laptop via the USB connection and check to see if the pops and glitches are still present -test with 2 USB cables -if the issue remains , go to step 3 3)- go ahead and do a Factory Reset of the R-41 ---Page 18 https://d2um2qdswy1tb0.cloudfront.net/product-manuals/R-41PM-and-R-51PM-Manual-v04.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
