I thought Linux was purported to be much cleaner with USB transport than Win.
And it usually is.
But pops and clicks (in playing audio) is what I might hear on my Linux (Linux Mint) PC when connected to an arbitrary USB dac. It seems to happen when I'm hot swapping dacs (conducting listening tests). Sometimes, If I re-start Linux's PulseAudio utility, the problem seems to abate. I use the PC for normal computing, but not heavy stuff like gaming or editing. Foobar (via WINE) is my playback engine of choice.
Any way, in software, to set up Linux to "isolate" the USB signal better? I'm thinking similar to"Pure Music: (Channel D software).
