There is simply not sufficient information about your project for a diagnoses.

Please review this thread and share your findings. Someone will surely try to help you through it. It would also be helpful if you supplied more info on the issue and not just a sound clip of you turning a volume knob. EX- how does the circuit perform other than your 1 claimed issue.

if it's popping, probably a cap. as it charges and discharges, it will make a popping sound.
bad solder is likely. try and reflow the cap(s) in the power supply (if applicable) and see if it stops. if it doesn't, reflow the whole board. if it stops, cool... if not, you can replace any electos and you should be good to go.
