I bought Tascam US-144 for my home studio using windows xp pro and when I am listening to sound over the internet there are pops, clicks and sometimes sounds just drops out all together. I did have a problem with getting the Multimedia driver to install correctly I am wondering if my Notebook is having some kind of conflict with the US-144 but I don't know how to check? Here are my specs:
