Popping audio issues on new install....

[newbie1]

I can't save changes to the file below (so I can fix this problem) because I don't have the right permissions. How can I get permissions to get rid of that annoying popping and make the change I need to make to this file? Thanks for the knowledge.

etc/modprobe.d/# on last line

Re: Popping audio issues on new install....

Back in January, I had this issue. I followed the advice. Later, I found that changing the line to:

options snd-hda-intel power_save=0 power_save_controller=N

and leaving it un-commented (active) worked. I have no popping when the desktop loads. No popping at all.
