pops and crackles using digital in to my sound card, anyone know anything that could help?

Hi, ive tried the process of elimination, and the pop and crackle is definately only happening playing bass through my boss digital 16track, out digital out/SPDIF and into digital in/SPDIF on my presonus audiobox 1818 sound card......im running through the boss 16 track cause i like the ef and the sound of the preamps.......and as i said ive tested everything else out, no its not the cables, no i dont have an issue if i plug directly into the presonus sound card, and no i have no crackle and pop if i listen to the bass on the actual boss 16 track

Windows 10, 64 bit, intel core i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50GHZ  2.59GHZ......12 gig ram ....Sonar lifetime updates, presonus audiobox 1818 interface, and beringer UFX1604 mixer interface/control surface...... All round musician, multi-instrumentalist/songwriter.....attempting to produce good music.....started on music creator 6 2014, bought sonar 2015....and now invested in lifetime updates......Learning always!!!!Thanx cakewalk and online forum

When you use SPDIF one device needs to be the clock source. Try switching to which ever your not using at this point.

Your problem is not related to your projects tempo. It's to do with the sample rate clocks which make sure that samples line up between the 2 machines. If one can't be set to master and the other to slave then you will get sample rate mismatches. The sound you hear is a symptom of that.

You either need to fix the synchronising problem or just use one device.

Are you monitoring the click track on the mixer? Sounds like you looped the click track back into Sonar via your monitoring system. I don't think Mike understood your problem.
