my laptop's audio has been randomly making random popping and static noises

Hi!

So yesterday, I started noticing something weird going on with my laptop, it started as random popping sounds, but as i was going further into the day on the internet, chatting with lovers, watching videos on various sites, i noticed some sorta static noise, even was sounding a bit like some sorta electrostatic, which was when it gave me a scare. I updated my OS, started fine, at first, and the static happened again, a bit later, even ran diagnostic tests on the audio, diagnostics said they were working just fine, yet the static noises still continue, and before anyone suggests that "go to speaker properties and turn of sound effects" fix, that was the FIRST thing i tried, only to find out, i don't even HAVE a sound effects option in my speaker's properties menu.

The audio driver from HP is broken, I face the exact same issue.

i managed to fix it, on my own, by going to device manager, uninstalling all audio drivers and rebooting. the reboot managed to reinstall the drivers, and no weird noises ever since.
