repeated quiet popping sound on the audio

[JasonKub]

When playing back TV on Netflicks there is a repeated quiet popping (clicking) sound in the background.  It comes and goes but it is a repeated /intermittent sound. Is there anything I can do to stop this popping in the backing?

Thanks for stopping by the HP community. A very good day to you. 🙂 I reviewed the post regarding issues with popping sound while playing Netflix which is intermittent.

For better clarity and to assist you better I would require information regarding this:

• Did this occur after a recent Software or Windows update?
• Did you check with an external headset to isolate the issue to the speakers?
• Did you try multiple browsers like Google Chrome or Firefox?
• Are you speaking about internet TV or connecting the computer to a TV via HDMI?

For now please perform these steps:

Reset the browser that you use now and check again.

If it is Chrome or Firefox, please uninstall and reinstall it.

Try with multiple Browsers like Edge, Chrome for Firefox

Also, perform these steps:

• Right-Click on start button> click device manager> expand sound video and game controllers>then select the sound drivers and right-click on it and uninstall the audio drivers. Then check the box delete the software for this device.
• Then restart the computer and update the bios, chipset and audio drivers from this link: http://hp.care/2gi3bFi and check if the issue gets resolved.
