I'm getting clicks and pops in studio one 7 when I recorded a test audio track, just to get a feel of the daw. Played it back and had popping noises and the audio was not clipping. I raised my latency. I've optimized my windows 11 laptop and bios. I'm using a focusrite scarlett 18i20 as my audio interface and it still does it. Even when i load up a new session and just add one plugin instrument from Kombat library. And theres still clicks and pops every now and then just playing midi notes. What am I doing wrong? If you need more info... ask me

Run Resplendence Latency Mon program while playing back your project and it will help you see what could be causing latency in your system.

I was running 48 but dropped it down to 44.1 to see if it would help, and no it didn't
I'll try that out, and see if it can point me in the right direction

Are you able to test whether you get clicks and pops in another DAW, so you can determine is it’s a Studio One issue? I had an issue similar to yours appear out of the blue last year after a Windows update. I eventually tracked it down to the processor’s multi cores not being used properly- effectively some cores were being “parked”. This thread guided me to a solution:

I thought it would be that also, so I looked it up in my settings and hyperthreading was enabled. This laptop is a intel I9 with 14 cores ( I believe ).Are you able to test whether you get clicks and pops in another DAW, so you can determine is it’s a Studio One issue?

If this is - what I think it is - AND your are running Windows 11 - you need to look up "LatencyMon" (see reginardStJohns post) first and run it for about 5-7 minutes with nothing else running.
LatencyMon is super easy. Green = Good. Red = Bad.
If you see Red - you need to next look up "Core Parking" for Windows 11 and consider another tool from Bitsum called "Park Control"
It is a free utility and will let you take back your CPU cores from the clutches of Windows 11's very poorly designed "Thread Director".
Once you deal with the core problems via ParkControl - things should settle right down in Studio One.

I saw that post, so it worked for you? I'm going to try it and hopefully that helps.

Took me about 2 weeks of study to really figure what this issue was (way back in Jan 2024) but yes -this is confirmed good now over year later.

I had it at 512 but I would still hear it but not as consistent as it was at first. For it to be completely gone, I would have to put it all the way up to 1024 but it would have very noticeable latency obviously.
What were your results after running LatencyMon?
Something to try (ParkControl app) if you've optimized your computer for audio and it still fails the LatencyMon test...
Core Parking discussion and the ParkControl app
I ran both programs and got it to the point it said everything was good to go but I still have the same problem. Now when playing back a simple 8 bar audio track, it drags and skips. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Stupid question...are you running the latest graphics drivers for your 3050? Also, did you install the HDMI audio? Is that disabled? Are you using the ASIO focusrite? Make sure Studio One isn't looking at Windows Audio? (Just asking, hoping to find something)

Good point. I wrote about this several years ago, when I found that the "HD audio driver" killed my computer's latency. Not all computers are affected the same way, and not all drivers are problematic. But I do make sure to uninstall any HD audio drivers that piggyback on graphics card updates.
Yes i have updated the video card but did not install hdmi audio (or at least I don't think so). I'll check the other parameters when I can
