Pops or crackling when pausing and resuming audio

[Chemix]

I have been using this laptop Omen 16 b0014nr for a week after unboxing, and I had experienced some annoying popping or crackling drops when I pause and resume the playback of everything has a sound in it, I've tried numerous fixes online and neither did help at all. Before and after any sound plays there are these pops/crackling sounds that are noticeable and pretty irritating, the sound appears to play fine after it starts but in a few occasions the sound actually started breaking. I've tested audio using built speaking and three different headphones including apple's original earphones the problem persists inside the machine or software.

Please reply ASAP, thank you

So I did bios update from F.27 to F.30, clean installed audio driver and restarted, but none of them changed anything.

Yeah I tried that, it doesn't show the option of "High Definition Driver". Do you know how to get to it?

When I reboot my pc the audio issues were minimal but it's there, however when I wake the pc from either sleep or hibernate the sound popping/crackling goes on constantly even during playback.
