Hi DavidEthier1, have you already tried updating your driver to the latest one from the manufacturer's website?
You can try the following to see if this will help.
Method 1: Change Sound Format
Right-click the sound icon at the bottom right corner of your desktop and select Playback devices.
Highlight your default audio device, which should have a green tick on its icon, then click Properties.
Go to the Advanced tab. Select from the drop-down box 16 bit, 44100 Hz (CD Quality). Then click Apply and OK to save the change.
If CD Quality option fails to help you solve the popping sound issue, try to choose another audio format and see what happens.
Method 2: Disable Sound Enhancement
Right-click the sound icon at the bottom right corner of your desktop and select Playback devices.
Highlight your default audio device, which should have a green tick on its icon, then click Properties.
Go to Enhancements tab. Check the box for Disable all enhancements. Then click Apply and OK to save the change.
Kindly take note that this option is not a universal one, since not all software drivers include such a function or it might be included with the Realtek Audio Manager.
Method 3: Change Power Settings
On your keyboard, press Windows logo key and then type control in the search box. Select Control Panel from the list.
View by Large icons and then select Power Options.
Select Change plan settings of whichever plan that you’re using now.
Now click Change advanced power settings.
Locate and click the + button to expand Processor power management. Then expand Minimum processor state as well. Change the Setting (%) to 100. Then click Apply and OK to save the change.
Regards,
Paul R.
