I read the manual carefully this time and they are very strict about what usb port you use:
"In general, we recommend you avoid using a USB hub between your computer and the Virus. With newer motherboard designs, however, the situation becomes a little bit more complicated. Some designs feature integrated USB hubs right on the motherboard, thereby removing the option of running the Virus TI without a USB hub unless you invest in a third party USB card. In many cases, however, this is not necessary and your Virus will happily work alongside other USB devices on one root hub.
Prominent examples of such a design are modern Intel processors motherboards, such as those found in many Intel i5/i7 driven Macs and PCs.
Here are a few golden rules to guide you on your path toward the attainment of system perfection:

Additional information on how to examine the USB layout of your computer can be found in the Finding the “right” USB port paragraph.

About bandwidth
Even though the Virus TI’s bandwidth requirements are moderate for a modern computer, there is a crucial difference to many other USB devices: the need to perform tasks in real time. “Real time” means that, in difference to a hard drive for instance, the Virus TI produces a constant stream of audio data which must not be interrupted. If the data comes in late, or is partially lost, audible artifacts such as crackling or popping might occur. Key components to enable the data to travel fast and safe include a dedicated USB connection and, in some cases, disabled power saving features on the computer side.
Notes for Mac users
Pretty much all up-to-date Apple computers share USB ports available from the outside with internal components such as Bluetooth receivers, keyboards, trackpads, and built-in webcams. These devices have proven to work fine with the Virus TI and the warning that flags up when starting the Virus Control plug-in can be ignored. If you can, you should find a USB port available exclusively to the Virus TI.
Choosing the “right” USB port
The goal when choosing the port is to find one which doesn’t share its resources with another port - only this way, can you be guaranteed to get 100% of the bandwidth.

For Mac Users
System Profiler is the tool of choice to take a closer look at the USB topology of your Mac. To open the application, choose “About this mac” in the Apple menu and click on “More Info”. Then choose USB on the left. Assuming that your Virus TI is connected and switched on, you there see your usb tree.
As you can see, the Virus TI shares a USB port with two other slow devices. In this case, this doesn’t result in a problem since there is still enough bandwidth left for the Virus’ communication"
Even after following all the instructions when I go to the virus control center it gets in conflict with some device wether its the "iSight", internat "Keyboard", "Trackpad", BLuetooth device etc...
Even in the manual it says that you can ignore the conflict as long as the devices in in conflict dose not demand much bandwidth.
But I STILL have troubles running my virus normal without it bugging me
IT suddenly gets so LOUD with Extreme high distortion and noise and I cant stop it. Last night I had to pull out the power from it for it to stop..
A question to "Secret Hero" are you using a macbook pro with i5 or i7 " or Imac with the same cpu´s??
ANYONE??? Please my life is ruined
Grateful for ANY advice
