Hey. I have problems with my external sound card (novation, nine 2/4). When I want to record vocals / guitar. When I sing / play do i hear s "metallic" buzzing. I've got a new sound card, but the same problem persists. It is probably a problem with my computer and not the sound card / cable. I have updated the drivers to the latest, uninstalled, installed the older drivers but the problem persists. I've checked the system messages and found some suspicious things (attached image). I have an imac 27 "mid 2011 running 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
