    No popping sounds, I have sound through Onkyo Receiver.

    Attached is the direct sound report if you want to compare drivers.

    Opps you meant on the P-171x.. well should be same mother board and drivers as the P-6831 FX.

    I get the exact same thing when my P-6831FX is hooked up to my external Logitech speakers. It sounds like the sound card in the laptop is picking up noise from another component.

    I have Logitech speakers too. I think it maybe the built in amp on the speakers(Z5300).
