USB Devices are a bit of a nightmare (tell me about it - I'm doing my Band's EP using one!) - if the card does not have the maximun amount of bandwidth avaliable to it while streaming or recording audio you will get glitches where it drops samples - these can be corrected by interploating the damaged peaks - but that's only gonna work on simple waveforms (eg: bass). You can try a pop / click eliminator DX Plugin - but these usually don't totally get rid of said artifacts. I know how you feel - I use an M-Audio Quattro which will randomly throw in glitches every so often on a recording rendering that take useless.
