Same problem.  Can stop it by disabling "speech runtime".

Product number NOB19AA  (Hp Envy Curved AIO 34-a051)

I have run several diagnostic tests but all show the sound card is working correctly.  When the popping begins I can start task manager and shut down "Speech runtime executable" to make it stop.  

Thanks

Thank you for replying with this detailed response,

I appreciate your time and efforts,

That's weird, I suggest you reinstall the audio card drivers if the issue persists, please create a new user account and check if that work,

If it doesn't, you may want to connect an external speaker to your device and check if that works fine.

Keep us posted,

Already tried reinstalling drivers, uninstalled sound card, reinstalled nothing works except disabling the "speech runtime executable".

Welcome back, I suggest you create a new user account and check if that works without these issues, as this could be a software malfunction as disabling a function shouldn't be a way to resolve an issue,

If the same doesn't work, I recommend you create a backup of all your important data into an external storage device and perform a system reset using these steps: Click here.

Keep me posted,

And have a good day.
