(HD3->Big Ben->192(2)->MacPro)

I've seen some discussion of "crackling noises" when arming a track. I've experienced a related problem. No crackling at all when arming or even when tracking. But immediately upon playback, the meters are registering -30db of crackling noise on one or two tracks.

One of the responders to the other issue suggested the noise was digitally caused and probably related to a different sampling rate than 48kHz. In fact, I think I've only noted the noise when recording at rates higher than 48. (e.g. 88.2kHz)

Why would that be, I wonder? It would be nice to have the full capabilities of my 192's when needed. (I can't recall if the problem was present before Big Ben was added to the system a few months ago.)
