Laptop "Speakers" Popping Sound

4.5

You hear a "pop" or "click" sound every time audio starts or stops playing.

Symptoms
  • Popping sound
  • Clicking
  • Audio delay
Possible Causes
  • Power management glitch
  • Bad audio driver
  • Static buildup

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Disable Audio Power Management

Advanced: Requires registry edits to stop the audio chip from "sleeping".

2

Update Audio Drivers

Use the official Realtek or manufacturer drivers.

3

Test with Headphones

If headphones also pop, it's a software/driver issue. If not, it's the speakers.

When to See a Technician

The "pop" is often the audio amplifier turning on and off to save battery power.
