    Occasional popping sound when audio is played


    About a month ago I had an audio problem where when I played sound, static noise would play and would make a popping sound when it comes on and off. I changed the driver to an older version which worked until now. Whenever I play pretty much any sound, I hear a popping noise every few seconds or so. The same thing happens when I use other headphones or wireless headphones. Does anyone know how to fix this? My model is Alienware m15 r3

    :)

    No sound while playing audio and video files.

    Hi,

    I appreciate if you could answer to a few questions to narrow down to the issue.

    • Which is the application that you are using to play the files?
    • Did you try the same on a different player?
    • Did you perform any troubleshooting steps?
    As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to check if the volume is set low or in mute state in Volume Mixer.

    • Right click on sound icon.
    • Open Volume Mixer check for the application that you are playing the files with and increase the volume and check.
    If the issue still persists, I would suggest you to run “Playing audio” troubleshooter to diagnose and fix the issue.

    Follow these Steps to run Playing Audio Troubleshooter in Windows 10.

    1. Type troubleshooting in the search bar.

    2. Select Troubleshooting.

    3. Select View all on the top left corner.

    4. Click on Playing audio.
