Wow! That's a little more disturbing. As to the audio issue, I've been having a similar issue for some time, especially with Firefox using any of the available audio systems. Works best with OSS. What I hear is not popping, but brief dropouts which I perceived as pops. It sounds a lot like data rate mismatch where the audio is output at a slightly faster rate than it is input. As a result, the buffers empty periodically and you hear a fraction of a second of silence. This is not an Alder Lake issue as it's been hitting me on my Comet Lake processor. > >
