Ever since purchasing Soundsticks I've had to unplug them from my 17"imac at least once a day. I have to unplug them to get them sounding right again. For unknown reasons they will start producing an enormous amount of distortion/stuttering/static and I have to unplug them and plug em in again to get them normal once again. Also during the distortion/stuttering/static period if I mute the sound I can her a static "click" coming from the soundsticks that is very regular like a heartbeat. I've plugged the soundsticks in both usb ports on my imac as well as on my Hub to no avail.javascript:smilie('') I've also plugged them into my old 333 imac running OS 9 and I don't have these problems. Someone please help me because this is really really starting to p*ss me off something terrible.
My Specs
X 10.2.3 (Had the problems though on 10.2.2 and 10.2.1 as well)
imac 17"

Well you really shouldn't have them plugged into a hub, they have to be plugged into the computer itself.

Don't know what to tell you as my SoundSticks on my Cube work fine for 3 years.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

I've plugged the soundsticks in all 3 usb ports on the back of my imac as well as on my Hub to no avail.

Is your old imac in the same place? It could be an external cause like a railway near the other computer or highvoltage line outside or..well everything that produces a magnetic field.

Severed Hand of Skywalker, why shouldn't they be plugged into a hub?
