I'm having problems with clicks, pops, connection drops, buffer errors, latencies, everything you can imagine, with my 002.
All this problems are always present when i go the ACPI route.

On modern DAWs you shouldn't have to switch to "Standard PC" anymore--ACPI should work fine.

In Windows Device Manager make sure your audio interface card is sitting on its own IRQ. If the IRQ is shared with other devices you may get pops/clicks. Try opening your PC, taking out the audio card, and moving it to another slot. Repeat as necessary, until Device Manager shows the audio card has its own IRQ, or shares an IRQ with as few other devices as possible.

Sounds silly, but it worked like a champ for me.
