This probably fixed my issue. First, uninstall anything that relates to Bongiovi. THE NEXT STEP IS TO MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP THIS FOLDER JUST IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG/CREATE A RESTORE POINT. After that, go to your system32 files and look for Bongiovi(Need to ensure hidden files are checked). Make sure you are the owner of that folder. Rename both the folder and the .dll file to anything. Please restart your computer and then delete the folder. After I've done this, I haven't had any pops in the past day. Going to the sound mixer will finally show any audio enhancements/spatial sounds are off!
Another thing is if you run sfc /scannow or dism in cmd, it might reinstall the .dll file back, so you will have to repeat those steps. This is a temporary fix, but it works. I grew tired of the pops and just went ahead and did this, and finally, the pops are gone, and they haven't shown up within 24 hours of posting this. I pretty much had to figure out a temporary solution on my own, but a solution is a solution that should have taken ASUS to do in seconds. This is not rocket science. Any support by ASUS is terrible. I always leaned towards ASUS because they make most of the best tech. For the end-of-the-year upgrade, I might lean towards something else. They better get their "s***" together.
