pop/crack noise on Inspiron 13 7368
I have a 1-month old DELL Inspiron 13 7368 with Windows 10. Every time the computer gives an audio signal or starts playing an audio or video file there is a loud click and then the sound starts without the first second. The click is like unplugging an audio cable from a PA system.
It seems to me that some software occasionally switches off the sound. This effect is very unpleasant when the computer is connected to a PA system as it startles the people around to death.
There is a posting with the same problem at tomshardware forum.
Please help me to solve the problem with this crack sound.

Hi,
I would suggest you to update the BIOS and audio driver on the system. Please enter your service tag # on the link below, select the OS, then download the BIOS from BIOS section and audio driver from audio section onto the system and install it.

Dear Ravi,
A big thank you for your help. I did as you said - updated the BIOS and the Audio driver. The problem was not solved after the BIOS update but was solved after updating the audio driver with Realtek VR8Y0_WN32_6.0.1.7908_A03 driver.
Thanks a lot. You saved me days of walking in the service jungle.
Best regards.
