Digital Clicks after Sample Transfer from PC

Hi folks,

I recently started to transfer samples from my PC to the Emu e6400 (EOS 4.6) via SCSI...I work/loop my Samples with Wavelab5 and send them into the memory of the emu.
Everything works fine, execpt when playing back the transfered samples on the emu I recognise digital clicks. Hard to describe, not very loud, like sharp clicking peaks.
Which makes the samples overall useless to use them in a song. The samples are p.e. *.wav files from a commercial sampling CD, so they should be ok?!

Did anyone has experienced the same problem.

Configuration is a WinXP PC with simple SCSI-Card (Adaptec) and 1,5m SCSI-Cable. Could it be a shielding problem with HF distortion on the cable ?

Some Opinions might be helpful. Thanks

Possibly a conversion issue? 16bit 44.1 kHz CD quality samples? What are you playing them back at?

Possible you are right,
I have in the master/output page Headroom=3, Outputclock=44,1khz (is it that what you mentioned ?) OutputBoost=0dB and AES Boost=on.

I have to look back in the manual what Headroom is all about. Thanks so far

well, what i'm saying is you may want to make sure the sample in your PC matches what the emu is set to playback
