You might consider sending the unit in for an inspection or repair. Popping sounds are caused by arcing 99% of the time in solid state gear - and in your case the arcs are either across the switch(es) or where the soldered leads from the switches meet the pcb. Could be bad/cold solder joints anywhere in that path. The mute function, when activated, "recharges" the arcing process.
