Hi @White_Walker ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a superb  place to find answers and information!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I understand you are getting a crackling and popping sound from your notebook.
Have you done all your Windows updates?
Have you ran the  HP Support Assistant to aid with HP updates?
Have you checked for viruses or malware?
Have you tried using MS Fix It ?
Here is a link to HP Notebook PCs - Sound from Notebook Speakers is Distorted, Pops, or Hisses (Windows 7 and Vista) that should also help.
Good Luck !

  • Static, Crackles, and Pop Sounds

    I have a Sound Blaster PCI Express X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card?(.04.0000 Drivers) and it makes crackles and pop sounds when:
    - I'm watching a video online in fullscreen (for example: Youtube, Gamespot, IGN)
    - When I'm watching any video in fullscreen on Windows Media Player
    - When playing a certain DVD or CD rom (for example, a movie or a music cd) the sound will go all static
    - The sound will also crackle and pop in other programs when a movie or music DVD/CD is in my dri've, but not in use
    - Certain games are unplayable because of all the static sound (for example: Starcraft)
    - When I play?Street Fighter IV and Battlefield Heroes, I don't experience crackling or popping, but rather?poor sound quality (it's like sound coming from very bad?speakers with no bass).
    My specs are:
    Windows XP Professional SP3
    Intel Core i7 @ 2.67Ghz
    3 GB DDR3 Ram
    HIS Radeon HD 4870 52 MB
    Asus P6T Delxue Motherboard
    I have disabled EAX Effects, X-Fi CMSS-3D, and X-Fi Crystalizer in the Creative Console. The sound card is currently in my PCIe x6 slot. I have tried putting it in my PCIe x4 Slot, but I get the same problems. Also, when I plug in my mic, it does not work! Why is that? and how can I get rid of these crackles, pops, and static noises?

    Turns out I'm not very familiar with the Xtreme Audio cards which I'm pretty sure don't have an X-Fi chip, just some X-Fi algorithms in software. I'm not sure how much help I can provide. Have you tried CL Support?
    What are you using for speakers?
    If you get complete static, that could be attempting to send an encoded track like Dolby Digital, DTS, DTS CD Audio, to analog speakers. That would be a matter of making sure the player software settings are correct.

  • Laptop M500 - ST6422 - Crackling and popping sound. How to resolve it?

    Hello
    I own a toshiba M500 - ST6422 and from the beginning a had sound issues when i listened to music or watched movies.
    I saw that a new bios version (2.50) was released to resolve this issue and I installed it but my problem is still there. I still have crackling and popping sound when i listed to music and watch music. It appears at random. I trie dto catch if the CPU reached 100% but it didn't.
    How can this be resolved?
    I  still have warrancy until december, if i take it to there, can they resolve something?
    What is the problem? Driver/ sound card/ other?
    I really need ansers on how to resolve this issue, untill my warrancy ends.
    Thank you in advance

    so, i went with it at a service who handle toshiba warrancies too. They tested the hardware and said everything is ok, must be a software problem.
    So i did what you asked, installed it out of the box, and it doesn't give me the same bad problems, but they still occure but seldom than before.
    So it must be a software problem indeed, which toshiba didnt resolve with the new bios version 2.50.
    Anyway, the problem is another one. I used to install windows in a custom way on 50 GB so I could use the best of the rest of GB for other partitiions. Now, with out of the box installationg, i cannot shrink too much of C partition (the one with windows), it doesn;t let me , so i am stuck with 119GB on C. Isn't there anything to be able to take like 60GB from C to another partition. I tried to defragment with it was 0 result.
    Thanks
    I am also waititng for other advices to be able to resolve the software problem with audio.

  • High pitched crackling and scraping sound when playing videos

    I just got a video iPod, loaded a couple of TV shows that I bought through iTunes, and tried to play them. I get a loud, high pitched electronic crackling and scraping sound during playback. The music I louded plays perfectly, so what is the problem here?

    Thanks. I'm planning to go there this morning. I just bought it yesterday, so they need to take care of it. I did try reloading the videos, but with the same result.

  • Crackling and popping sound when playing music and watching youtube videos

    there is a crackling and popping sound when i watch videos on youtube or play music/videos  using vlc media player  and windows media player. recently it has gotten to a point where it happens when windows is starting up or even when the laptop is required to play a sound for example when i plug in a removeable hardware such as thumbdrives

    Hi @donnabail ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP 2000 Notebook and getting a buzzing or popping sound while playing music and watching Youtube videos. Try performing a hard reset.
    When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
    You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook that might have caused this.
    You can try this
    1. Right click the Speaker icon in the bottom right corner.
    2. Click Playback Devices.
    3. Click Speakers.
    4. Click properties.
    5. Click the advanced tab on the Properties window.
    6. Change the Default Format drop-down to the highest quality.
    7. Apply the properties.
    8. Click OK to close the properties window.
    What happens if you right click on the video while playing a video and take the check out of hardware acceleration. Shut the browser down and restart the notebook.
    Have you checked for an update on the Active X.
    Please let me know how this goes.
    Thanks.

  • Crackling and peeping sounds in sbs260

    I bought the boxes almost a few months ago. I had a pc crash a week ago. The harddrive where the mixer was on initially crashed. I had 3 hard drives. True a fluck/bug in that drive the system crashed
    I got my pc back and hear squicking sounds after reinstalling the mixer but on a new directory
    are my boxes finished ? Is the mixer ? what is it ?
    ps i hear not a sound at all in my boxes only these crackling , peeping, static sounds
    Message Edited by drdoom on 11-19-2005 10:44 PM

    drdoom,
    I would suggest testing the speaker on another audio source preferably something like a MP3 player, discman, etc... This will help determine if the speakers are at fault or your system.

  • 790i SLI crackling and popping sound issue solv

    No, not by a Creative product but by a competitors PCI?sound card.
    I am no longer experiencing any crackling or popping sound during movie playback and durring games on my eVGA?790i system in SLI mode on Vista Ultimate 64.
    The sound quaility and performance are excellent.
    I will be returning my Fatalty Pro this weekend.
    I strongly suggest you do whatever it takes to fix your sound cards Creative. At least one of your competitors was able to design a very good sound card that has none of the issues that the X-Fi does with the 790i.
    Your continuing to sell a clearly defecti've product has cost you my business, a customer that has been using your sound cards for 0 years.
    Gamers dont want excuses, we want results.
    If you cant provide them, we will buy from a company that can as I have already done.

    so, i went with it at a service who handle toshiba warrancies too. They tested the hardware and said everything is ok, must be a software problem.

  • P775 -S7320 crackling and popping sound

    I get a crackling/popping sound occasionally when listening to just about anything. It happens when watching online videos and listening to music on Windows media. I can hear it out of both speakers, and when using headphones.
    Any ideas what the problem could be?
    I have updated all drivers.

    I noticed that recently I am having the same problem with a P775-S7236.
    If I reboot the laptop then it goes away but eventually it comes back.
    Did you solve your problem.
    TIA

  • Sound card problem: static/crackling and no sound

    I've had a late 2010 Macbook Air for over 3 years (February 2011). About a week or two ago I started hearing a strange popping noise every now and then while I was using headphones. I thought it was a problem with the headphones but then discovered the same thing when I used different external speakers. Almost simultaneously the internal speakers started periodically having no sound at all, even though it wasn't on mute. This was previously fixed by restarting the computer, but now the problem is permanent. The popping noise when using headphones has also rapidly worsened, and now crackles constantly and sometimes there is even very loud white noise. This occurs with any program on my computer - web browsers, spotify, itunes etc. As it's over three years old, I no longer have AppleCare. I'm not too keen on taking it into the Genius Bar unless I have some idea of how much it will cost beforehand, as I also need to replace my battery soon, which is going to be 129 euros. Does anyone know how to fix this problem, and if not, how much does it usually cost to replace the sound card? I'm using Mavericks but the problem started some time after I installed it.
    After doing some googling to try to fix it I've tried:
    - Turning it off and on again
    - Installing AntiPop
    - PRAM reset
    - SMC reset
    - Disabling and reinstalling Adobe on google chrome
    - Resetting the sound card with terminal

    Thanks Linc Davis. I thought I'd have to pay for the consultation at the Genius Bar, but you're quite right, it is free and you can decide not to go ahead if the quote they give is too much. Just thought I'd write what happened in case anyone else has the same problem. The cause was basically a small cable that needed to be repaired, which cost about 76 euros. I took it to an Apple Store in Paris and they fixed it within 24 hours, even though they estimated 3-5 days. He said another reason this problem might be occurring is because the Logic Board needs to be replaced which would have cost around 360 euros (probably not worth the money for a 3.5 year old laptop), but thankfully it was just the cable.

  • Lenovo N500 NS74APB and corrupted sound via HDMI

    Hello. I have connected the laptop to TV LCD (Philips PFL7403D/12) with HDMI cable and I noticed corrupted sound. There are noises (crackles) and vanishing sound for seconds. Also when i.e. moving the window between the screens, the crackles occure. On internal speakers the sound is correct. What can be the problem? Is it laptop, TV or HDMI cable, which causes the problems?

    I also use the N500 modell (747) and want to watch videos, I have problems with the sound, too.
    I have connected the notebook with a HDTV projector, resolution 1920 x 1200,  via HDMI cable.   
    The screen of the notebook is dark.
    Problem: I can hear nothing, the sound from the movie cannot get out from the notebook by the audio front connector.
    Question: How can I catch the sound? Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • PlayStation 3 (ps3) audio crackle and popping bug

    I'm curious if anyone else out there has experienced this problem.
    For a couple years now, I regularly render my projects to mp4 (h.264) files at 1080p for playback on my PS3. In Premiere Pro CS3, I had made a couple customized presets with all the right settings for smooth playback on the ps3, which took quite a bit of research and experimentation to get just right.
    Now in Premiere Pro CS5, the few h.264 default presets I've used work really well out of the box, with one small caveat. On a particular music video I've been working on, the audio has quite a few crackles and popping sounds in it. I've researched the heck out of this, initially thinking it was a problem with my render... deleted my audio peak files over and over, changed projects to 44.1kHz and/or 48kHz, use the original WAV file, etc etc ad nauseum. What was most confusing is that I couldn't hear any of these popping sounds when I played the exact same mp4 on my computer. In fact, it sounded perfect on my computer no matter what I did. In diagnosing the problem, I connected my computer directly to my stereo (bypassing the PS3) and sure enough the audio was perfect... so...
    My thinking now is it's some sort of a bug or perhaps a very nuanced incompatibility betweeen the ps3 and the mp4 file. I've re-rendered the mp4 in countless ways, tweaking nearly every encoding setting possible. So far, I've found two things that work and cause the audio to play without any clicks or pops on the PS (again, they all sound fine on the computer)-
    1. Rerendered at 720p instead of 1080. Audio plays perfectly.
    2. Replaced my video track with a single white color matte, rendered at my original 1080p. Audio plays perfectly.
    Anyway, that's where I'm at. Given it plays so well on my computer, I'm half thinking the PS3 is on it's way out as my HTPC solution.
    Curious if anyone else in the community has experienced anything like this?

    Just some thoughts here. Many users have had issues (some Audio on Export) with Apple's H.264 CODEC (probably the most common one?), and have had much better luck with the H.264 from either Lead, or from MainConcept. Not sure if either have a trial, but might be worth a try.
    Otherwise, I am at a loss to explain why your H.264's are producing bad Audio on the PS3 (have never used one). It is also odd that by dropping the Video resolution down, or replacing it with synthetic Video, would have the affects that you describe - odd indeed, at least to me.
    Good luck,

  • Crackling and glitches when recording voice overs in premiere pro cc

    Hi,
    I am trying to monitor my voice overs with minimal latency in premiere pro. I know that lowering the buffer size reduces latency, but adds strain to the CPU.
    The problem that I encounter is crackling and weird glitch sounds when I drop the buffer size to 256 within the ASIO settings. I find it odd that my CPU can't keep up seeing as how the resource monitor doesn't show 'CPU Usage' higher than 10%.
    When I raise the buffer to 512, the crackling and weird sounds disappear, but there is a slight delay present in the headphones.
    There are no plug-ins or effects in use.
    Would anyone know why this is happening, or if there's anything that can be done?
    Thanks!
    Equipment being used:
    Audio Technica AT-2020 (USB Mic)
    i7 3770k @ 4GHz
    32gb RAM
    NVidia Geforce GTX 670
    Win 7 Pro
    256gb SSD
    2TB HDD

    Yes. The procedure I went through was the following.
    1) Add Mono Track (Audio 3)
    2) Click on Mic Icon in Audio 3, in the Audio Mixer.
    3) Click on Record Button. Watch it flash.
    4) Press the space bar to record.

  • Ipod touch 5 sound crackles and bad quality - how do I fix it?

    When I plug my 5th gen iPod touch into speakers or headphones the sound quality is awful and it is crackles and there is lots of "noise". There must be something wrong with How can I fix this? 

    Do headphones sound OK?
    Assuming the speaker sound OK when connected to another device:
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem?.
