No popping, no clicking, and no asking me questions every time I plugged in a 3.5mm jack. There was a brief 48-72 hr period where I was able to enable and use a basic 'HD audio' driver (which I assume was a bare-bones Windows 10 audio driver), and it was glorious. I even edited the registry on the suggestion of a few other users, but days later, the Realtek driver came back. I disable it, uninstall it, and it comes right back. The problem is that the driver keeps coming back. Constant popping and clicking throughout the day and night, and constant nagging questions about whether I'm plugging in speakers or headphones- and if so, which size of speakers or headphones. I hate the Realtek audio driver like no one has ever hated a driver before.
