So I recently got the 2i2 (2nd gen), and I've been running into an issue where I get a continuous "clicking" static noise whenever I plug my acoustic-electric guitar to the interface via 1/4 (in TRS?) to XLR. This happens when phantom power is turned off. I can't even get a signal from my guitar to Ableton and I'm unable to get any signal through my headphones when plugged into the interface to monitor. I've messed with direct monitor on/off, line/inst input, and the dials for gain and monitoring levels to no avail.
Despite this issue I am able to run a signal from my mic into ableton and hear back the signal with the added effects of that track through monitoring, so I don't know why I can't get the interface to receive signal from my guitar and send to ableton and direct monitoring.
I'm running iOS 10.11.16 on my MacBook Pro and according to Focusrite I shouldn't have to install any drivers, which is obviously evident from the mic signal.
Any suggestions?
