It could be one of the few things:
1. A driver issues on the PC (try reinstalling/updating sound card drivers). I wouldn't turn off the onboard sound, unless you have a separate sound card. You may also try reinstalling codecs (google CCCP), but that only applies to playing specific formats.
2. A cable issue - low quality HDMI cables can cause problems, especially with long runs. Try running optical or some other type of audio cable out of the HTPC and see if that helps. Also, if your receiver supports HDMI, you can try running the HDMI cable directly to the receiver to see if that fixes it (TV output via HDMI from receiver). You can also hook up PC speakers to see if you get the same popping sound locally. All those tests can help you narrow down the problem.
