We have had reports of similar issues with some expansion, where the “problem” was that some presets has noise effects on them. I don’t know if this applies for your setup?

DreamPop has the most CPU demanding presets of all our products, e.g. Garage1 and White. What you hear is most likely CPU overload. On the other hand, the OriginalMix preset uses hardly any CPU at all, so if that preset glitches then it’s some other problem.

Glitches due to CPU overload are usually caused by running too small a buffer or by having some power saving feature choking the CPU. Sometimes it is actually because the computer isn’t fast enough but that is rare.
