I didn't have any pops with my onboard audio. I installed Sound Blaster and now I have pops every now and then just in dbpoweramp not realplayer. I read the sticky on "pops" and it says:
If you do this and for some reason have to reinstall the controllers will I need the XP CD? Because I don't have one.
To solve it select each item under 'IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers' right click >> uninstall (click no to reboot until all are removed, uninstall Master Controller last, then reboot, Windows will refind the IDE controllers and reboot again, all should be well.
