Exporting audio & getting popping noises

So i’m using Adobe Audition 2020, I am fairly new to it but I did use the 2017 version for a while previously.  When i’m recording music and I hear the vocal stems with no effects and with effects and they don't have any popping noise, but the moment i export them, when I open the audio clip in itunes or send it to my producer it is CONSTANT crackling and popping, however when I export it WITH the effects on it (like autotune, delay, etc) there's no popping? I’m just incredibly confused because it's never done this before I don't believe when i was using the 2017 version.
