Based on the SSID of the sound card, I have not seen any relevant fix,
so the problem likely still exists in the latest kernel. I agree with
your point, but most current driver fixes address pop noise during
power-on/off or playback; I have not found any similar fix for capture
(recording) pops. It appears that many users default to the `power_save`
workaround – I also previously disabled power-saving mode to mitigate
the issue. For future encounters with similar recording pop noise,
I will try alternative solutions rather than relying solely on
`power_save`.
