I recently bought a Gigabyte Aorus Pro x570 along with RTX 2080 Super and Ryzen 9 3900x, and I've been having problems with inconsistently consistent audio popping. Now I'm trying to figure out if the issue is with the mother or something else before making an RMA. Problem is the same in the rear motherboard audio jack as well as the case front jack.
Essentially, I've been getting popping sounds during audio (Youtube, VLC, Musicbee, etc), which aren't incredibly loud but still noticeable with headphones. In songs especially during more quiet moments. And the pops even come after the audio has been paused as well. For example, if I pause a Youtube video and the audio cuts out and is no longer there, maybe a second later there's a pop. And that happens usually every time I pause a video. The pops don't always show up every single song or video, but if I watch something for a while like say a few minutes, they seem to show up and get worse and worse in time.
And the strangest part about this is that the problem seems to have something to do with the rendering, in that the pops attach themselves to specific spots during playback. Here's a hypothetical example:
I've tried everything I can to combat this issue -- try different realtek drivers, change windows settings, reset bios settings -- but nothing seems to work. The only thing that removed the problem was using my friend's external Asus audio card. And while I could just buy my own external audio card, somehow that seems stupid and letting the problem lie.
Does anybody have any clue as to what could be going on? Thanks very much for reading, and please feel free to ask me more specific questions.

- I watch a 1 minute YT video = pops appear on seconds 0:40 and 0:45 and 0:52
- I scroll back and play the video again = same exact pops once again appear at seconds 0:40 and 0:45 and 0:52
- I scroll back and record my desktop with the Nvidia geforce recorder as I watch the video again and then play it on VLC = same pops appear once again at the same times
- I unplug my headphones from the mother and plug them in an external audio card and play the video on VLC = no pops at all
- I plug my headphones back in the mother and play the video on VLC = the same pops are no longer there but now appear at new places
- Also, I'm pretty sure that if I CTRL+F5 the video and reload it, the pops are no longer there in the same places
