I also have this problem. Followed the directions, still getting the popping sounds. No problems with native sound card.

I'm having this exact same issue. I ran through the troubleshooting steps that were posted, that didn't fix it.

This is a newer machine with all Windows Updates. I have not checked if there's a BIOS update available but I'd rather not go that route because I believe this to be a software issue.

I made a youtube video so you can see exactly what the problem is. Please help me fix this ASAP. It's so freaking annoying, it happens when opening any program that uses sound and when running the audio test like shown in this video I made:
