Newbie issues with sound quality and recording

Hello, I have an A4 and use overbridge to connect it to ableton on my laptop. I have noticed that when recording that the play back quality is noticeably worse (bass sounds are choppy etc). I am new to world of recording and wonder what I can do to fix this. Would an audio interface make a difference? I connect the A4 directly to the laptop using usb and overbridge. Audio out is also through the A4. I have even recorded using just overbridge and the sound quality is still poor compared listening to the A4 with headphones.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Record Dn and Dt with overbridge in cubase
audio sounds fine, no problems.
