Audio popping.

Don't know how much you want me to "spam test" but I tested it a few times and no issue. I'm also running the latest 1909 Win 10 build.

Yeah, I've seen that happen but it's not surprising since you're spamming the sound system. I can do the same; but that's because you're spamming the system and has absolutely no bearing normal audio listening (for me).
If that's all you have that's a non issue

Yeah I realize stop starting samples like that is unrealistic but on the notebook I have with Win 10 1803 installed that same repeating clicking of the sample results in zero pops. I think something might have changed with Win 10 1903 and the sound, there might be a latency bug. I'm looking more into it...
While the sample spamming is unrealistic you may hear occasional pops in the sound when some apps close or something like that and that's what I don't think should be happening...

Popping is usually related to a bug in the audio driver for power management. Basically realtek has to make their audio driver to work in the cortana/alexa world --- the audio chipset has to be half asleep while listening to a few wake up words. Of the few bug release notes that are posted by computer manufacturers along with the audio drivers --- most are related to bug fixes to power management.

If you read any of the realtek audio chipset datasheets (all the ones available are 10 years old), it will say something like this:
ALCxxx revision B is a green package...
"supports anti-pop mode when analog power avdd is on and digital power is off"
"improves anti-pop functions and reduces power consumption when the audio system is not in use. This is especially useful when designing equipment to meet the Energy Using Products (EUP) directive for IT equipment."
If there is any popping, it is basically related to power management bugs. Maybe your OEM bought the old revisions because there are some left laying around in inventory and it's cheap. Basically the OS got a lot more sleeping levels of power management. So other than updating your realtek drivers to see if they fix the power management bugs, there is really nothing you can do.
And clicking the "ding" sound 5 times in a row doesn't prove anything. It was never designed to be ding 5 times in a row. That's like trying to use the old pc case speaker (the one that "beeps") to play your mp3's.
