Loud pop or crack when turning on computer.
Issue
Loud pop or crack when turning on computer.
Cause
Computer speakers are amplified speakers.
Solution
Similar to powered stereo speakers, it is normal to hear a pop or crack from computer speakers when they receive or lose power or when the device connected to the speakers is turned off.
If the noise continues after the computer and speakers have been turned on, it is not normal. We recommend that you first move the speakers to an alternate location to make sure that the noise is not being cause by something around the speakers. If this does not resolve the issue, unfortunately, it is possible that the speakers are failing or a component within the speakers have already failed.
