Loud popping sound on headphones when playing all media

This is probably caused by power saving. You can try: echo 0 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save This setting will last until you reboot. You can make it permanent by adding this text to /etc/modprobe.d/audio_disable_powersave.conf: options snd_hda_intel power_save=0 Hope it helps.
