Sequence skipping when daisychaining

Hi

I'm syncing my new Sample 2 with two Volca Keys - ie three units in total using Volca Sample clock. The three Sequences play in sync, but then I'll notice a beat skipping. I updated firmware in the Sample, as this unit seems to be the sources of the issue. Everything worked fine, but when I removed the headphone jack it skipped, on two occasions. Is this a coincidence? I'm just hoping I don't have a faulty unit... any advice gratefully received

Jez

Do you run the three Volca's audio outputs into a splitter to sum them? That's a common cause for syncing and skipping issues (and it could be harmful to the Volca's as well)..

Thanks Peter. No, I have an audio interface with two inputs and have been listening to two at a time, hence removing/replacing the headphone jack... just while writing sequences. I will shortly set up my mixer with independent inputs for each. I'll also check to see if the problem persist while using the internal speakers.
