HELP! Occasional Garbled Sound and Clicks - Audition CC on a MacBook Pro 16GB

Question

I recently changed from Audacity to Audition for Voiceover recordings.

However ever since using the system I have on occasion found that I get a garbled sound (almost like being underwater) and clicks. There is no particular pattern to this (not at the front and end of tracks)

Au Support cleared my machines CACHE and the problem has not been resolved.

I am using the mac above and record through a Rode NT1A mic (with a shock), through a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 into Audition. I record single track mono at 48k with a 32 bit float and have tried changing the Buffer speed which make no difference. I purchased Audition to assist with ACX audiobook production but at the moment I am struggling due to the above.

The equipment is around 10 months old and is kept in a recording booth so I don't see any issues with damage - it just seems to be an issue with Adobe.

Any ideas would be most greatly appreciated.

If you open Edit > Preferences > Audio Hardware, what option is selected under "Device Class?" And what other options (if any) are available when you click on that drop-down arrow?

I suspect Audacity was using a different type of audio driver and you need to switch Audition to the same one.
