Constant glitching, crackling and popping when recording guitar in Logic Pro X

There is constant glitching, popping and crackling whenever I play/record guitar in Logic Pro X. I normally use Archetype Petrucci which is a virtual amp sim to get various tones etc., but the problem I'm having persists even when I'm using a stock Logic guitar track/stock Logic plugins.

Here are all the things I've tried to fix the issue that haven't worked:

- Restarting my computer

- Ensuring that all other applications/windows etc. are closed on my Mac

- Deleting the Archetype plugin then re-adding it

- Lowering the gain and/or level & output on the Archetype plugin itself

- Lowering the gain and/or output on my audio interface (Volt1), and ensuring that "INST" is selected

- Changing my sample rate back and forth between 44.1khz and 48khz

- Changing my buffer size in the audio settings (none of them make any difference)

- Turning off input monitoring on any other track (if there are any)

- Deleting all other plugins and/or tracks

- Creating an entirely new project

My MacOS is currently on Ventura 13.3 and my version of Logic is 10.7.9 - I saw online that there was apparently a recent Logic Pro update that fixes an input monitoring bug that people have been having but when I go to the App Store, I don't see any available updates for Logic. This could be because I haven't updated my MacOS, but can someone confirm? I would rather not update my MacOS but I will if this is the only way to fix the issue, however I'm not even sure if the bug people have been experiencing is the same as what I have been dealing with.
