Audio clicks and pops

I have 3 problems with Kore 1 the most annoying is before any sound comes out it always clicks and pops before a short delay before the sound can be heard. If it is up loud it spikes out my amplifier and shuts it down the clicks are that loud. The amp and pre are the back end of £3k i am terrified that it is going to blow my amp up I have tried every asio setting it still does it. Surely it is not supposed to work like this. Also when windows is instaliing the usb drivers the kore controller driver fails to install i have tried reinstalling the same thing. I had the kore disconnected while installing. I have the latest 3.0 driver which has made it worse than before i am using win 7 64bit 4gb ram .

I bought Deep Freq and i can select one preset then it crashes after that every time so it is unusable i have tried reinstalling to no avail. Also i purchased True strike which has removed it self from the soundpack list in the kore browser it was there it just vanished. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling still does not recognise it
