Hi Michael,

Thanks for you thoughts.

Hans is using an Edirol FA-101 between the Focusrite and the PB. 
He's recording in Logic 7, 44.1 kHz, 16 bit, so nothing special.

Personal, after talking to Hans on the phone yesterday, I'm 
inclined to think it's bad drivers of the FA-101 - he hasn't 
updated them since he bought it a couple of years ago. But he 
hasn't used internet on this specific notebook either, so 
everything is still the same as when he bought it.

Cheers,
