Hi Gerry,
 
You can disable LAN in Device Manager (without having to reboot).
I don't think this will have any affect on the "pop".
 
Are the glitches recorded... or just heard upon playback?
If it's the later, are you sure you're not hearing an electrical noise (pop)?

Thanks for the LAN tip. When I do an analog board mix, I route the outputs back into Plat, so yes everytime I've checked the  glitches on the recording they were recorded. When I record I'm only recording 1 or 2 mics and don't' notice glitches on recording them, only on playback. It's not electrical pops.

I recently (a couple months ago) bought an MOTU 896mk3 Hybrid, which has both USB and Firewire interfaces.  I'm using USB (I had to use USB 2.0 as I originally had it on a USB 3.0 port and I would occasionally get crackling on the output).  I don't have a T.I. firewire chipset on my motherboard but it has a "VIA OHCI 1394 Compliant Host Controller" chipset.  I tried the 896mk3 Hybrid with this Firewire port.  Works fine but I can't go lower than 96 Samples per buffer with Firewire or I get dropouts.  With USB I can go to the lowest setting, 64 Samples per buffer.
