Adobe Audition bad quality recording after upgrading new lap to Win7 x64

[walkcatwalk]

Hi guys, I hope someone can help me out here, I bought a Presonus USB Audiobox a while a go. I was delighted with the high quality recording with Adobe Audition cs6 on my Windows 7 32bit 2GB ram centrino old laptop. But after buying a new laptop with Win7 64bit 8gm ram i5 processor I'm getting a lot of pop and click sounds during recording even on an only two tracks session... which seems absurd to me! With my s***ty old laptop I never had any of these sort of latency sounds (i guess it's due to latency?) and I was expecting to fly high above the clouds with my new laptop ?....I went through all the little options and stuff but everything seems in order with Asio driver installed and the latest Audiobox driver on too...
What's going on?
Any suggestions please? I'm in pain...
Thanks

Have you downloaded the Adobe 64bit drivers?

No! I never heard of such drivers? I can't seem to find any 6abit drivers for Adobe Audition though...can you tell me more please? Thanks

Audition, being a piece of software, doesn't have drivers. However, there certainly should be alternative 64 bit drivers for you Presonus. That'd be my first stop--download the latest Win7 64 bit drivers from HERE.

The other thing I'd look at is to peek and see what extra bits you may have running in background. Computer manufacturers have a nast habit of adding all sorts of un-necessary rubbish to their installs, some of which can get in the way of audio work. When i get a new computer, my first hour or two is generally spent cleaning it out and getting rid of all the 'try this' rubbish.

Finally, the usual advice about turning off system sounds, anti virus, wifi, etc stands as does going through things on an "optimise your PC for audio" site. THIS ONE on the Focusrite site seems as good as any even if you don't have Focusrite hardware.
