Popping sound while shutdown on XPS 14 l401x

Hey guys,

When i shutdown kali linux, i am getting a popping sound from my speaker. Found that the issue is with the snd_hda_intel module. When i manually remove the module using rmmod the same popping sound occured.

Is there any way to solve this issue?

i had the same same problem...

if u can stop the kernel module 'snd_hda_intel' manually before shutdown , then hit 'sudo modprobe -r -f snd_hda_intel' in command and you are done!!
but if klai doesnt let u remove the kernel.
u have to manually remove the 'snd_hda_intel' before shutdown after all other modules have been killed.

either u have to create a script that removes that module as the computer shutdowns or you can add the line 'modprobe -r -f snd_hda_intel' inside the 'do_stop' function of K12halt located at /etc/rc0.d

this fixed my problem ;)
