    I've recently started getting a problem (or only just recently noticed it) where a high pitched whine is coming out of VE Pro 5. I am running DP 8.0 on a mac and have a separate server for VE Pro 5. I had tried out Cubase 7 and thought perhaps it was making the whine. So I loaded up DP 8.0 and low and behold when VE Pro 5 started loading up samples on the server, bam, the high pitched sound (akin to having tinnitus) returned. And It's clearly something to do with VE Pro 5, because as samples were loading off of Kontakt, it would start and stop with each instance being loaded. Off/on/off/on/off/on and when it was done it returned for good. It's a cross between intermittent and consistent. Hard to explain. I would say it's intermittently consistent. I'm just curious if anyone else has experienced this high pitched sound and if they might have found a way to get rid of it. It doesn't seem to be in my hardware. It's only evident when using VE Pro.

    Well, it's not VE Pro 5, so I apologize. I've found now it does it any time I receive an audio signal. It seems to be a mac issue from what I've found, and I'm not the only one. But the question remains, has anyone had this problem and found a way around it? It's completely silent, but the second I start getting an audio signal (recording, VE Pro, Youtube, Skype), there is a high pitched sound.

    Seems like any kind of hard-disk activity is causing some interspersion into your audio system.

    Thanks. That very well could be it. Doesn't seem to do it when I'm doing normal things with the hard drive, however. It always happens before I start anything with sound within a millisecond. I've done some research and it seems to be something to do with Intel chips and speed stepping, so going to try that.
