Digi - OB - Reaper [cracks & pops]

Hello everybody.
So I’m trying to set up my Digitakt with Reaper through Overbridge and I am unfortunately getting these annoying cracks and pops when playing.
Following checks have been made:

  • USB conf on digi: OB
  • Reaper is set to 48000 / 24 / 256
  • ASIO / Elektron device selected
  • Sync on OB control panel: Clock & Transport
  • Created track with virtual multichannel instrument.
  • “record output multichanel” / No input recording
  • windows sound settings set to Digi
  • latest version of OB installed
  • latest digi firm updated
  • exclusive mode ON
  • windows sound effects OFF
  • no other soundcard connected to the PC

I’m on windows 11.

would greatly appreciate if I could get some help troubleshooting this.
Thanks!
