Speaker pops when I play and pause the video/music, also happens if I'm skipping through media.

[hitarthgg]

Whenever I pause a media in any media player (VLC, WMP, YouTube) I hear this strange pop noise its not too loud but it's definitely noticeable. Same thing happens when I play a paused video or when I'm skipping through a video. It's definitely not an issue with my headphones as I've tried replacing them and it happens with  inbuilt laptop speakers too. I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and the issue is still there. My Laptop has a Realtek audio card.

So far I've tried:

• Upgrading OS from W7 to W10
• Clean Windows 10 Re-Installation 
• Using different headphones
• Core Unparking
• Changing Audio Bitrate in Speaker Properties
• Disabling Audio Enhancements
• Disabling Realtek Power Management in regedit
• Re-Installing Realtek Drivers
• Using default Microsoft audio drivers
• Updating Windows 10
• Turning off WiFi

SPECS:

MODEL: HP 15-r006tu

4th Gen Ci3(1.7ghz)/ 4GB/ 500GB
Current Drivers: Realtek High Definition Audio 6.0.1.7548

I've also tried using latencymon, here is the report ( the report was kind of similar when I used latencymon in Windows 7)

CONCLUSION
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. You are likely to experience buffer underruns appearing as drop outs, clicks or pops. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. At least one detected problem appears to be network related. In case you are using a WLAN adapter, try disabling it to get better results. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates.
LatencyMon has been analyzing your system for 0:10:12 (h:mm:ss) on all processors.

MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment the interrupt service routine started execution. This includes the scheduling and execution of a DPC routine, the signaling of an event and the waking up of a usermode thread from an idle wait state in response to that event.

Highest measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 868.60
Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 9.082359

Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 860.70
Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 2.339841

REPORTED DPCs
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
DPC routines are part of the interrupt servicing dispatch mechanism and disable the possibility for a process to utilize the CPU while it is interrupted until the DPC has finished execution.

REPORTED HARD PAGEFAULTS
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hard pagefaults are events that get triggered by making use of virtual memory that is not resident in RAM but backed by a memory mapped file on disk. The process of resolving the hard pagefault requires reading in the memory from disk while the process is interrupted and blocked from execution.

NOTE: some processes were hit by hard pagefaults. If these were programs producing audio, they are likely to interrupt the audio stream resulting in dropouts, clicks and pops. Check the Processes tab to see which programs were hit.

Process with highest pagefault count: chrome.exe

Total number of hard pagefaults 622
Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process: 87
Number of processes hit: 24
