Default Distortion Sound on Pro Tools 12?

My new set up of Pro Tools 12 randomly develops a distortion sound. Any ideas? Sometimes it happens on start up and we have to switch everything down and power off again. The last time it happened was when we added a CLA plugin and the output sound immediately shifted to this distorted sound. We shut down everything, powered up again and still the sound remained on this occasion. Sometimes we have to re-start all the devices multiple times to get the sound to revert back to normal.

I attach a link below of the sound. It is only 12 seconds and should be a clean acoustic guitar. You can hear how badly it is distorting the sound.

So we have an iMac running El Capitan. We have Pro Tools 12 and the output settings in the playback engine is set to our Focusright Saffire Pro 24.

Let me know if you need any more specs / information, but if anyone has a clue, it would be amazing as we waste so much time re-starting trying to get the clean sound back.

Thanks,

Victoria
