seems like owen and ryan are already on the case, theres also a small chance that is wasn't directly mixxx's fault.
did the gain knob turn around in the interface? if so it was probably you controller causing the problem. if your gain potentiometers are getting worn out that could easily cause a problem like this. but it would probably happen when you touched the gain controls and not spontaneously. putting electronic gear on top of speakers is generaly a bad idea, components can wobble themselves loose, and if the speaker is really big it might even erase you harddisk. usb isn't like audio cables, a broken usb cable will either cause your device to not be recognised, or to for the device to repeatedly connect and disconnect. no sublte crackles or loss of certain frequencies like with old worn out rca cables. ewan.
