Virus TI sputtering noise

Hey there,
you should really see if you can update your OS (you can!), chances are, it is a little older. Then, try using a good USB hub (although the documentation exlpicitly says not to - just try it!). You should also try to setup your DAW and audio interface like stated in the setup guide. How long is your USB cable?
The sputtering stopped the moment I loaded a new firmware onto my TI2.
Good luck!
