I suspect that the clicks and pops may be due to the player not being muted when EQ changes are made.

Quote:
The equalizer gain must be changed in steps of maximum 1dB to prevent switching noise. If the change is equalizer shape is big, an additional audio muting is preferred to prevent clicking noise.
