    Same here 12.04 LTS, I have found muting the sound just B4 shutdown fixes it in my Dell D610 (I only use internal speakers)
    I did find this link + will try the term commands and report back 12.04 - Loud pop on shutdown/reboot - Ask Ubuntu
    Same here the coomands in the link did not fix this

    Do you have any settings in BIOS that are sound related? You could try turning off sound there and testing. I moved on to Bodhi Linux and no longer have this issue.

    I completely disabled sound and I'm still getting the popping on shutdown :(
    Seems to be an Arch Linux issue. I guess I'll have to switch to another distro.

    Could it be the mobo or sound card? I've read these kinds of pops are unavoidable with a raspberry pi, for example.

    Still getting the popping with 3.17 kernel on Arch Linux. :(

    Edit: yay. I fixed it! Adding:
    options snd-hda-intel model=,generic
    to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf fixed it for me.
