Digital Static Noise on Recording - Core Audio Bug?

I'm using a G5 DP 2.3, and when recording from the USB Audio Codec*, digital noise/static kicks in after a seemingly random period of time, anything from 3 mins to 15 mins. This occurs with any audio application.

The 'workaround' is to go into Audio MIDI Setup, and change the sample rate for USB Audio Codec to 48 KHz (rather than the standard 44.1 KHz). That seems to stop it in any application, except GarageBand, which changes the sample rate back to 44.1 KHz when it opens.

Anyone have any further news on this??


*should clarify - USB Audio Codec is what's used for USB audio input devices, e.g. USB turntable (Pro-Ject III USB in my case) and some USB mics. The issue doesn't occur when recording from the computers own (non-USB) audio input, or from a (FireWire) audio interface.
