When I play back recorded audio in Studio One there are a distracting amount of pops. Each time I listen back they are in different places so I'm pretty sure it's not recorded. The most common fix I have read about is to increase buffer size, but they are still numerous at my highest available buffer size (4096). I also read about clocking issues, so I checked the properties of the Audiobox USB playback device from the control panel and the sample rate and bit depth were wrong (44.1 kHz and 16-bit instead of 48.0 and 24 on my Audiobox USB). I changed them so that they now match but that didn't seem to help at all. I have also tried updating/reinstalling the driver with no success. I've been reading that there are tons of variables that can cause this including bad cables and plugged in to close to a microwave? My question is are there any other likely issues that I can fix or is there any troubleshooting software that you can recommend?
P.S.-I tried playing sounds other than Studio One through the driver like Youtube etc., and the pops were not nearly as numerous, but still there. Also it does this thing where it will randomly crackle, then start to pop rhythmically, like a metronome. This eventually stops, and this seems to happen whether any sound is playing or not, whereas normally the pops only occur when audio is being played back. I don't know if this helps.
