snap, crackle, and pop

So I've had this problem since I've owned Ableton, which is about 3 months now.
The problem is, the longer live is left running, the more cracking I hear with the audio. It sounds like a bad speaker, I don't know how else to describe it. The worst thing is, it saves with song files. I have made quite a few songs I like, but the crackling sound kind of ruins it. Here is a good example of what I am talking about. http://people.vanderbilt.edu/~daryl.l.f ... dboard.mp3
In that song I checked the levels, nothing is going red, meaning there is no cutoff. I can drop the levels to ridiculously low levels and I still hear it.

I run Ableton 6 on a windows Vista computer. Its a pretty good computer with 3.2 gig of ram and quite a lot of RAM. I don't think it has too do with having too much stuff up in Live. I get the same issues when I just load a single synth into Live and wait several hours.

Thanks for you help.

Are you by any chance rewiring anything? as there seems to be some issues with glitches and pops when rewiring.

I assume you mean with reason. No I am not.
