I did recently install a wireless d-link network in my house, and I think it is the culprit. There is an activity led on the rear of the wireless card that will blink from time to time, but I discovered that when this audio popping starts, the led blinks quite rapidly, and in sync with the pops!
Now that I think I've found the culprit, I'm not sure what to do to fix it, or if there even is a fix. Any suggestions? The wireless card is a DWA-542 "Rangebooster" and the router is a D-Link DIR-625. I did try adjusting the priority on PowerSDR to real time, but it didn't help. I figure there is some sort of timed ping or something the card is performing when this happens.
