I love my Q2626, but the volume knob has been making increasing amounts of static noise when adjusting it lately.

I've 'exercised' it a ton, which fixes is for a few minutes. but the noise comes back in no time. It's a couple years old now (no smoking environment), so prob out of warranty, but wondering what my options are to get it fixed?  I haven't opened up yet, but I can manage soldering in a pot replacement if it's fairly straightforward?

Mine has done this since I took it out of the box brand new. It has to be some sort of grounding issue, I have no idea how to fix this, sometimes turning it a bunch works temporarily. It really has become apparent that this  interface was rushed to market and they stripped it down too much,. Id have happily paid more for a product that was reliable, it's a constant battle with this thing.

Still no answer on this?!  I am in the same situation.  Truly disappointing.

I have the same problem. Didn't happen when new but has been gradually getting worse and it's really quite bad now.
Other than this I really like the unit, but it's a pretty frustrating issue.
