Static when trying to record guitar

I use Music Creator 5 and a Line 6 UX1.  When I was trying to record every 2 to 3 seconds I would get static through the speakers, what can I do to get rid of it?   I tried to record straight to my sound card and got the same results.  Any help would be appreciated!

    TRK... you need to tell us about the computer and most importantly.... the sound card.

    Also was this occurring with the amp emulator Amplitude? If so... the amp sim needs to be registered with the mfg. This is a common thing they installed to keep people honest. Since it came with MC5... you can register it for free on their web site. Once you do that the static will go away.... it's supposed to be every 10 or 15 seconds....  I think there's something you click on in the opening screen that takes you to teh IK servers so you can register..... It's been so long since I did it.

    Welcome to the forum.
    The UX-1 is a sound card and should be the only one you use for recording and playback.
    Did you go to the Line 6 web site and download and install the latest drivers for your system?
    What is your operating system? Is it a 64-bit OS?
