Question Popping noise whenever audio starts and stops?

[OliontheRadio]

Hello! I am currently encountering a problem with the audio from my PC, I use a USB mixer (for internet radio) and for some reason the audio from my PC started making a pop noise whenever the audio is stopped/started (either automatically at the end or manually stopped/started), I've tried everything from changing my power plan to even sending the device half way across the world for it to be checked out, however they (the manufacturer) couldn't find anything wrong (and couldn't hear the pop), HOWEVER, if I join a discord call (with one channel set as the output for discord) that one channel doesn't have a pop when any other audio is stopped or started, that makes me think its more of a PC problem rather than the device itself? (I have tried another laptop I have, however it also does it on there - Both Windows 11 fully updated).

Any help would be great! Thanks.

include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time. Include your audio equipment as well. You've mentioned using your USB mixer on a laptop as well, mind sharing the make, model and SKU for said laptop?
