How do I fix laptop speakers popping when no sound is playing?
I suspect it is the power save mode kicking into action which is causing the popping sounds. Save the following into a file called audio-power-save-off
#!/bin/bash
for dev in /sys/module/snd_*; do
[ -w "$dev/parameters/power_save" ] || continue
echo 0 > "$dev/parameters/power_save"
done
and do the following:
chmod +x audio-power-save-off
sudo ./audo-power-save-off
and see if it helps
