Why does all audio from Wwise crackle on my Mac?

Hi, I've been taking the course, and just putting up with it, but now that I'm in 201 I need to get a real solve.

After player audio for about a minute, I start to hear a crackle. The crackle then gets worse over time. I quit wwise and relaunch and it improves but the process start again.

Say I open a youtube video and play, this crackle is not present, and appears to be exclusive to Wwise.

I am running Wwise on a Mac, using a Focusrite 18i20 interface.

My sample rate is set to 48khz.

I have uninstalled, and reinstalled.

Is this simply a CPU overload issue? And if so, is there a setting I can adjust to reduce the CPU load of Wwise, at least for the time being?

Think I found an answer to my own question, thought I'd post if anyone had a similar problem.
Firstly you have to reset your computer after changing the sample rates in Audio Midi Set Up, which I was already doing before, easy to miss tho.

Secondly, I had an app installed called EpocCam, which turns your phone into a webcam for your computer. I made sure every audio device was set to 48khz (Make sure its in's and out's) but EpocCam is not able to be set to anything but 44.1khz. I uninstalled EpocCam properly, double checked my sample rates were all set to 48hkz, and restarted my Mac.

So far it seems to have fixed the issue!
