How to stop HP plugin speakers from popping?

[DylStur]

I have the speakers plugged into my XBOne because I'm using a PC monitor which doesn't emit audio. The speakers have been working fine since I got the right adapter, but they've started popping recently which is really annoying. I've tried moving the plugin about, unplugging then replugging them and moving the wires around, but nothing's worked so far. Any suggestions?

popping can be caused by loose connections (find what) and sometimes by onrush power from the source component and the only way about it is, turn on component first, then the amplifier in that sequence.
