I powered up my Mackie Big Knob Studio Plus and noticed the input LEDs were lit up despite nothing being plugged into the input section. After some online research, I came across a helpful video. Since I'm only using it to control my speakers and not as a sound card, disconnecting the USB port from the motherboard resolved the issue for me. I'm hoping Mackie will address this issue because this unit is only 2 1/2 years old and I use it every day. With the USB disconnected I can no longer multitrack with it but now the unit gets very hot and at times it starts to make really funny noises and I have to shut it down constantly. I take really good care of all of my equipment and this is the only equipment that is failing on me which is sad because I really love Mackie products, but unfortunately this is a real problem.

I've had this replaced twice in the past 2 years. The 3rd one just died. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.
