Behringer UCA 202 USB connector source of static in recording Kaossilator

Recording the Kaossilator into GB was producing intermittent static; things would begin keenly but a few bars into the tune - randomly - the static arrived. After checking myriad items such as power supply and cables I got rid of the Behringer UCA 202 USB interface and returned to a Griffin iMic w/ Y cable.

That seems to have solved the static issue. Yay, Griffin.

Hello Triage, the problem that you had with your intermittent static sounds exactly the same as the problem i'm having with my Art Tube project series preamp. Although I have replaced the USB cable the problem is persisting. I have a posted a thread in the garage band 08 forum title Art Preamp distortion and fuzz. Any advice you could give would be fantastic.
I'm sure you can identify with my frustration.

Does the output of the Kaossilator (whatever that is) have a level and impedance that is compatible with the RCA type inputs of the 202? You usually can't mix-and-match audio input types (1/4", XLR, RCA, etc...) without impacting the sound quality. RCA connections aren't made to interface to a low-level signal source like a guitar or microphone.
