  Speakers pop only when using FCP

  Posted by Zach Dierks on October 21, 2009 at 7:55 pm

  My speakers pop intermittently when using FCP. I know i don’t have a blown speaker because it only happens when audio is playing in FCP. The same audio playing outside of FCP sounds fine.

  Any ideas?

  I have an AJA 2 card and a Mackie 1402-VLZ Pro audio mixer.

  Was the system ever working properly without popping?

  Try uninstalling and reinstalling the kona drivers.

  I know the Kona 3 will experience audio popping if the control panel’s genlock setting isn’t set to ref in. That might apply to a Kona 2. Also, someone mentioned that a bad audio render file could cause this.

  Go here: User Preferences / General / Audio Playback Quality

  You might try the “Medium” or “High” setting.
