Found this after a quick google search for 2i2 driver installation issues:

Going to give this a go and see if it sorts it all out.....nope, gave it a try (un-installing the driver software, then installing the latest version first and then plugging in the 2i2) and it didn't fix the sound issue, I'm still getting the crackle and distortion.


Geez, it's being a real stubborn one isn't it?
