XPS 15 9530 - Click/Pop Sound coming from the laptop when opening the application
Hi, so I have been using XPS 15 9530 in the past 6 months and as the title suggests, click or pop sound occurred when I opened any application. I have just noticed the issue today, so I'm wondering if there is something wrong with the laptop. I want to know if there's an issue and I should worry about it or not.
Thanks.

That click/pop sound you’re hearing on your XPS 15 9530 when opening applications sounds like it could be tied to the audio driver powering on—especially if it happens just as audio output is expected. It’s a known quirk with some high-performance laptops where the sound card “wakes up” when triggered by system events. I’ve noticed a similar thing when launching Photocall TV: right as a stream begins, there’s sometimes a faint pop as the system activates the audio pipeline. Have you tried updating your Realtek or Waves MaxxAudio drivers—or tweaking the power settings under sound properties to keep the audio channel active?
