Thank you for the complete information.

This is where I would be dragging out test equipment which you can't do.

Ummmmm.

Wait. How are the speakers connected to the mixer and do the speakers have a volume control? Model numbers?

Koz
and yes they have a volume control

I am using KRK Rokit 5's and they are connected to mixer XLR to jack
My Roket5s have an XLR on the back. Is that what you're using? Standard XLR Male to XLR Female also known as a "mic cable."

That's too bad. That's pretty much what you're supposed to be doing.

I'm close to being stumped. You can hear the whistle at the UCA202 headphone point switched to Monitor, but the Roket speakers are silent?

The Rokets also have an RCA on the back. Can you disconnect and move one of the Rokets to listen to the UCA202 Line-Out (in Monitor)? That whistles, right? And if you move that Roket to the mixer out it's silent?

You may have the only broken UCA202 we've ever seen. I might try a different iMac USB connection.

We have a large number of these things in service and have never experienced a failure. I keep thinking there's something else wrong and we just haven't found it yet.

I am using Serato by the way.

I'm totally stumped

As far as I know.
Can you make it worse and does it ever change pitch?
What happens if you don't run Serato and just make a straight recording from, say, the microphone?
Post a sample of the sound here.

You're using the UCA202 because your iMac has no Stereo Line-In, right? You're missing one of these connections?

Yes I am using the UCA202 due to no Stereo line in on my new iMac

I'm not sure where to go with this. Post some of the sound.
