Hi,
I'm trying to record something simple but there is this annoying snapping sound. I don't hear it while recording, but when I try to listen the raw recorded file it's always there. I'm using a Line6 podx3 bean as an external sound card and for amp modeling and audacity for recording. Can I prevent this somehow or is there a way to remove it?
Here's a short sample

Thanks.
To be honest I couldn't tell you what that is, it sounds like maybe a bad cable but you would hear that outside of the recording.
I'm currently unable to listen to your sample, but if it's what I'm thinking I might have the solution as I had the same problem before. I'll come back with a more proper answer tonight.
Sooo...? :P
Use soundcloud instead of making people download a file.
Tried that first but I didn't receive the confirmation. Works now.

Which url I need to choose?
Here's the link anyway. [url]http://soundcloud.com/moowchair/sample-snap[/url]
Ok, had a good listen and unfortunatly this is not the same problem I had. Unfortunatly, I can't help with this... but maybe this link will.

It sounds like your computer is lagging. Do you have ASIO sound drivers, or a sound interface? What does your setup look like?
Sounds like a buffering/sample problem. ^ what the above guy said
Most likely a cable that is barely losing connection and reacting with a pop sound when reattaching.
Noo because I don't hear it while recording.

Well this is a shitty budget computer I built around 4 years ago, I'll set up my better computer soon and see if it works better with it. I've understood that you don't need a good internal sound card with devices such as[URL="http://line6.com/podx3/specs.html"] the pod x3. [/URL]. Is that right?
Could lack of ram cause this? Because this computer originally had 2 gigs, but one of the combs failed somehow. It didn't boot at all unless I removed the broken one. So now I'm running 32bit windows 7 with one gig of ddr2 667mhz :v:. It still runs incredibly smooth, although browsing files makes it laggy.
And to be honest I don't know about asio drivers, anything at all. All i've done is I've installed the drivers that came with the pod. Do I need to get ASIO drivers somewhere separately?

That pod should do the trick. It's basically an external sound card. As long as your computer is decent (+1 Gig RAM) and not sluggish then you should be fine. Have you tried increasing the buffering length? It should typically be set around ~20-30 ms delay. Any more and it will start to become unplayable. Any less and your computer won't be able to keep up and you get these popping sounds.
