Troubleshooting & Frequently Asked Questions
There are little clicks and pops, like some type of static, when using the PuigChild.
This is nearly always a synchronization issue. Make sure that your Sync selection is proper. If
you are using digital inputs, then you should select (D) for Digital sync, to lock to the selected
digital input. This gives the lowest jitter performance and should solve any clock problems.
If for some reason you have the Sync set to Internal while using a Digital input, it is nearly
guaranteed that you’ll have clicks and pops.
What is the advantage of 48-bit resolution when all of my audio ends up at 16-bit?
It’s a great advantage even if you start with 16-bit audio (which most of the world will do for
awhile). Just think of it as more accurate audio math, because it is! Using 48-bit math simply
keeps track of more detail while the processing is going on. Multiply 2 decimal numbers
together, and nearly always you get a number with a longer decimal; that is precisely what is
happening with 48-bit audio and dithering to your final output. The resulting resolution is as
good as you can get, preserving as much detail as pos-sible.
