I have been using Vegas for years. I upgraded to 22 in the winter and out of nowhere I am getting random "pops" in the audio. They do not show up in the waveforms, and if I click "rebuild audio peaks" sometimes the "pop" will go away but most of the time it will just move to another clip in the timeline. If I edit the video/audio clip in the timeline the "pop" sometimes moves as well. When I render the timeline sometimes the "pop" also ends up in the final rendered video but usually not as many "pops" will make it into the final rendered video compared to what is in the timeline. I am at a loss here and any suggestions would be great. Thank you.
So far I have tried:
1. uninstalling and reinstalling software.
2. Making sure the project audio is set to 48khz 16bit to match the video audio.
3. Making sure my computer audio is set to 48khz to match as well
4. Uninstalling and reinstalling audio drivers (NVDIA High Def Audio)
The video/audio in the timeline is all from the same Sony a7s3 and here is one file:
