Hello Everyone,

Thank you very much in advance of any assistance.

I have a new home built PC. When it starts up from sleep, start up, etc., it makes two or three popping noises, they are coming through the speakers, I turned them all off and couldn't hear anything.

It's not to annoying but want to make sure that it isn't hurting any of the components.

Thank you again, have a great weekend.

Those noises happen when Your sound card initializes itself. They are not a problem.

Because the are annoying, do check that every connector is snug, and that no lose connectors are hanging around anywhere. I get those pops if I have a 3.5mm splitter in my setup, and one (male) end it tapping the case occasionally.
