Crackling In Playback That Is Not in The Recording?

I just updated my ASIO driver for my Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 (1st Gen). Not 100% sure that's the cause of this problem, but suddenly I'm getting intermittent crackling when trying to edit audio. It isn't in the actual recording. I'll listen to a phrase and hear crackling. Then listen the that same phrase again and no crackling can be heard. It's like it's something in the playback that isn't matching up.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks!

BTW - this is happening in both the CC version of Audition and my old standalone 3.0 version.

Its a sampling rate issue. Make sure the sampling rate on computer, interface, and software are the same.

Two things to try: increasing the latency value of your ASIO driver; basically, make the buffer bigger and longer. You can do this In Preferences>Audio Hardware, using the I/O buffer size entry. That often works, especially if it's defaulted to a very low value.

If that doesn't work, try reverting to your previous driver, and complain to Focusrite!

Thanks Steve. I boosted to every next high level until it's now 1024. And that didn't get rid of the problem. Crap. It seems ridiculous that I'd have to get a whole new interface just because of something like this.

If it didn't do this before, and now it does, then have a go at Focusrite. It wouldn't be the first time a manufacturer has screwed up a driver, after all...
