Update, I managed to get my hands on a working USB PCI card. Good news and bad news. The good news is that plugging my headset into the USB Port eliminates the audio popping issue. The bad news is...

Update: I bought a PCI card but it appeared to be defective, it would work for maybe 10 minutes and then the audio would completely crap out and distort any video I was watching. Not only that but...

Once maybe every 2 days or so my PSU emits a very faint buzzing noise for about 20 minutes or so. It will buzz for a few minutes, stop for a few seconds then buzz again. The PSU is about a year old...

Yeah if worse comes to worst, I was actually thinking of doing that or getting 35mm input headphones and just using my onboard sound card. I know its either a driver or software that just didn't...

You know what, I think disabling the integrated audio from the BIOS might have worked. Gave it a good 30 minutes of videos just to be sure. Odd that disabling it from the device manager didn't work,...

So I don't have a speaker to test, but I had an old pair of ear bud headphones that I put in the audio jack. After testing for about 20 minutes I can say that there is no audio popping when using...
