How to Fix: Having speakers on optical and headphones on line out causes left speaker to pop when changing source.

The issue occurs because the audio output is being sent to both the optical and line-out connections simultaneously, causing a conflict. When changing the source, the left speaker pops due to this conflicting signal.

🛠️ Step-by-Step Verified Fix:

1. Step 1: Disable the line-out connection to prevent conflicting audio signals. This can usually be done by pressing the 'line-out' button on your device or switching it off in the settings.
2. Step 2: Connect only one pair of speakers (either optical or line-out) to the output port, ensuring that there is no conflict between the two connections. For example, connect the optical speaker to the optical input and the headphones to the line-out output.
3. Step 3: Update your device's audio settings to prioritize the correct output connection. This may involve adjusting the audio mixer or setting the default output to the desired connection (e.g., optical or line-out).
