Hi, I've been looking for a solution for this problem and found that not using the Realtek HD Audio Manager/B&O will stop the audio popping. I was not expecting this from HP but I feel a bit dissapointed with my choice. What they did was to uninstall/reinstall the drivers which did not work for me. I have made online chats with HP supports but they were not able to find a solution. I have found similar issues that people have faced but none of the worked for me. I feel it has something to do with the power management, becuase it appears the sound system goes into the offline mode when nothing is played and once it turns on to play something it makes the noise. The noise is short, it is like once you plug your headphone in. I hear a pop noise through headphone every time I play a music or even it plays Windows System sounds.
