Solved! Laptop making consistent popping sounds

[kunjuro]

Hello. I recently plugged in my laptop to a sound system in a hotel. My laptop suddenly made continuous popping sounds through the audio device. When I unplugged the speakers, the laptop kept making the continuous popping sound. When I plug in other devices, the poping sound transfers there. The sound starts when windows fully loads up and doesn't stop even if I mute the audio device. It only stops when I disable the audio driver (realtek) in device managers or boot in safe mode.

I have tried everything from DPC latency checker to see if there's any interference (nothing shows up), updating and reinstalling sound driver (REALTEK) and the sound remains. Does anyone have suggestions for this issue? Thank you.

Update: DPC Latency Checker is currently measuring a latency of 1000 us (yellow bars)

Laptop is an Asus TP300L btw.

Sounds like the sound card or jack got damaged.
