Hi
I recently started noticing a weird popping sound in almost everything in windows
it happens when a sound starts/stops so basically at the beginning or the the end of an audio, or when a sound suddenly stops like when you click on the windows knob then click somewhere else during the sound it plays
even in games it sometimes happen in similar scenarios
I tried everything I can do atm, updating/downgrading drivers, messing around with audio settings, testing different outputs/audio devices, and a new clean windows installation, nothing worked 
I looked at every thread I can find with this issue online and non of them had a solution
I don't even know if it's a normal thing or not anymore maybe it's normal and I just started noticing it recently
Here are some examples of the type of pop i'm experiencing (copied from a different post):

Microsoft Edge 2019-06-07 21-16-48 (streamable.com) this one I tried in Ubuntu and it happens there too
Whispers of a Machine 2019-06-22 00-05-30 (streamable.com)

Are you saying that if you record it internally in windows and play it back somewhere else it's noticeable in the recording?  If that's the case it sounds software related but you never know, I had a faulty ground loop in an RCA splitter and it sent interference clear back up the chain.  I don't know how it all works but have you attempted a different pair of headphones?  Someone in your youtube comments mentioned that it was only with a specific pair of headphones.  Maybe some kind of feedback is happening.... I'm just taking a shot in the dark based on someone else's reply to your YT thread

Audio go Brrrrrr

@Psittac thanks for replying, Sorry I didn't clarify that it isn't my video, but yea I tried different headphones AND speakers too, same results, I asked a friend to skip through one of the videos in the examples and it produced the same sound, oh and I can hear it in games like TrackMania Nations Forever between engine sounds transitions 😕 , but the interesting thing is that I can also notice the same POP on phone too when skipping 10 secs in youtube videos and its not only my phone, I also tried the same on my sister's phone and it did the same thing (on both speakers and wired earbuds) , so I'm now wondering if it's just how audio normally works and I just happen to notice it now?
