Crackle sound from Audition ruining original audio, when editing in multitrack?

Question

When I upload audio files into Audition, the sound become distorted by crackling and pop sounds - both in waveform and multitrack? The original files are fine, I've listened to them externally from Audition, which makes me think it has to do with the editing software itself. I've recently upgraded to CC 12, but still same problem. And the software functioned fine during the earlier half of the year - this has only happened recently (in the past month or so). It doesn't effect the sound of the final podcast but it's frustrating to edit with. Has anyone experienced this before?

In Edit>Preferences>Audio Hardware there is, depending upon what driver you are using, the option to increase the latency - that's the option with MME and WASAPI, but if you're using an ASIO driver, then it's referred to as I/O buffer size - basically it's the same thing. Chances are that your system has been on the edge for a while - it doesn't take much of an additional load running in the background to tip it over into needing a bigger buffer. So initially, increase the numbers and see if that improves the situation.
