This was driving me crazy for quite some time and I happened upon this from an askubuntu thread which mentioned the eventual fix
kernel details:
```
> uname -a
Linux lightning 5.13.0-37-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 15 14:34:06 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
```
Uncommenting and setting `default-sample-rate` and `alternate-sample-rate` to `48000` in `/etc/pulse/daemon.conf` solved a periodic pop I was getting when connected via a HyperX Cloud II USB audio dongle.
Using the headphones in the front TRS port would also prevent pops but this was not a solution as I use the microphone attached to the headphones.
Glory to the person who solved this, what an obnoxious bug.
