The one time I bought a pre built gaming machine it was an HP Omen and there is this dumb bug where the sound processor would go into standby if a sound didn’t play for a few seconds and then the next sounds would be missing the start and gradually fade in.
You had to edit the registry to break their fucking shit code to fix it and windows updates would restore the value sometimes.
Official forum post had pages of people complaining and no official gave a shit.
My ASUS laptop has this problem where, if there is no sound output for a while (that “while” is just a few seconds) then the next sound will start with a big pop sound.
Probably either a firmware thing or problem in the sound card itself (does the same on Linux).

HP can fuck off and die already.

Ouch. Others have the issue? If not it could be hardware, like a bad capacitor or something. Laptops are a lot more hassle to work on though
