A while back I had a problem, where whenever a sound was played, even if the speakers were down and muted, I would hear a pop from my speakers. So I deleted the Realtek HD audio driver (supplied through Samsung SW update) and my problem was solved! I'm just using the standard Microsoft ones atm.
New problem has occurred now though (It didn't start straight after deleting the realtek driver and I tried a system restore to before the loud pop started but it makes no difference). Every time I start up my laptop even if my speakers are turned down, on silent or disabled there is a massive pop from the speakers just before windows starts. I'm really worried it's damaging the laptop or the speakers. I also tried reinstalling the Realtek driver and the problem was still there.

Thanks in advance.
