Pops in recording...need help.

Hey,
All of the sudden this week I have been getting pops in my recordings. I did 2 NMAS shows last week, no problem. Now my stuff sounds like Rice Krispies.
I have changed UA5 batteries and XLR's.
I run C1000's>UA5>Wavelab 4.0
Am I missing something?
Thanks!

Any changes on your PC lately? 24- or 16-bit? Sample rate? What's between UA5 and Wavelab - soundcard/cabling? USB? Rebooted lately? PC optimized for audio? How frequent are the pops?
More information will help those (unlike me) knowledgable enough with computer recording.

There is a USB between the UA5 and lappy. I haven't rebooted lately, and yes it it optimized for audio. I have done a BUNCH of recordings, no problem...now it is terrible.
The pops are very frequent!
I tried using the AC adapter for the UA5 and still got the same result.
Thanks

Well, definitely reboot and see if that does it. When in doubt, always reboot! Again, questions I'm sure others with a greater knowledge will ask:
Any changes on your PC lately? 24- or 16-bit? Sample rate? Mac or PC?

Haven't changed anything on the lappy lately!
The sample rate hasn't changed either. I use Windows 2000

Okay, so you haven't changed the sample rate. But what *is* the sample rate you're using? And are you running 16-bit or 24-bit? And did rebooting/powering off/on solve the problem?

Rebooted...no change.
Changed the USB cable...no change
Opened up the UA5 and cleaned it out...no change
Next...re-install Wavelab and try SoundForge

Did you accidently switch on the back of the UA-5 into advanced mode? This would make it go into 24 bit mode.
Did you accidently switch the UA-5 to 48 or 96?
Wild guesses... trying to help!

Tickets are dead to me. Except the ones I have, don't have, and lost. Not to mention the ones you have, don't have, and lost. And the ones that other dude has, doesn't have, and lost. Let me know if you need some tickets, I'm happy to oblige.

I checked all the swithces and i moved them back to normal...same pops.
I just happened to record a movie, and when at the peak of the kid's voice I got pops, no other time.
