Audio Popping via Headphone Jack?

It looks like setting the Idle times to 00 00 00 00 on the Realtek High Definition Audio device eliminates the problem. Edit the windows registry at your own risk!

Check out this article from Microsoft:

Audio Device Class Inactivity Timer Implementation (Windows Drivers)

Based on the article, I drilled down to: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class

I searched for "Realtek", which brought me to:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e96c-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318} (***Your key will probably be different from this. For example purposes only!***)

Then I searched for "ConservationIdleTime", which found:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e96c-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0007\PowerSettings

I changed all three Binary entries:
ConservationIdleTime = 00 00 00 00
PerformanceIdleTime = 00 00 00 00
IdlePowerState = 00 00 00 00

That seems to have fixed it.
