Question Popping sounds from speakers


For some reason sometimes when I start up linux I will hear popping sounds coming from my speakers. It sounds like some kind of interferance is coming through. However other times I will hear nothing at all. I have a Sound Blaster Audigy sound card, any idea why this is occuring?

Yeah me too, but that's just linux initilizing the sound card. Like you know if you turn on a hardware amp or something it makes a little pop? Kinda like that. Remember, linux is the power, so it's bringing up the core of your sound card like turning on your amp.

But the popping sound only occurrs some of the time, and when it does occur it goes on for the entire time the computer is booted into linux, not just when the sound card is initializing.
