Audio technology has changed a lot in the past few years. The speakers have gone from analog to digital and now use fiber optics to transfer signals across different speakers. Many decades have passed but still many users have old analog or digital speakers. Users can make those snacky and big speakers smart once again with the help of just a Bluetooth Audio Receiver and Google Home/Nest devices.

HI,
I have a BT receiver connected to the Aux input of my vintage stereo receiver and paired to a Nest Mini so I can play Spotify through my receiver and speakers. I also have the power cord from the stereo plug into a smart plug, so all I have to do is tell the Assistant to turn the stereo on and play Spotify. This has worked great for over a year. Recently, I notice a regular pop-pop sound from the Nest mini when I am not playing any music and stereo is off. I tried turning off Ultrasound sensing and I am still getting the sound. The popping stops, however, when I unplug power to the BT receiver. Any advice on why the BT receiver is causing the popping and how I can stop it, other than having to unplug it every day.
