Envy 14 Beats edition crackling sound

I have the Envy 14 Beats Edition (dm4t-3000) that keeps having an intermintent crackling or fuzzy sound that is coming from the back right corner of the computer (around the wireless card) . I have looked everywhere on this forum for answers but I have found none. Sometimes when it is makeing the sound if I click on the mute button it will act like it is going to stop but doesn't.

Please try if updating the audio driver help to resolve the issuue.
Here is the driver support page for HP ENVY 14 Beats Edition. Select the Operating System of your machine from the drop down box and look for audio driver.

No sound on HP Envy 14 Beats Edition. Sound disappeared for no apparent reason.

HP Envy 14 Beats Edition laptop (product QE295UA#ABA) running Windows 7 Home Premium version 6.1 (build 7601, service pack 1).
I don't recall running any software updates. I've confirmed that no mute buttons are on. I've tried the Windows troubleshooter for Playing Audio/Speakers and Headphones but the software does not detect any problems. I've tried reinstalling the driver to no avail.

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp53001-53500/sp53281.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f9 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f5, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

Crackling sound from right speaker - Envy 14 Beats edition

The right speaker on my Envy 14 Beats edition has a crackling/static sound when playing any sort of sound from it. I assumed it was a faulty speaker since its just the right speaker.. I've talked to HP support and they had me send it in.
After two weeks I got it back only to find that they simply changed some audio configurations in an attempt to fix it. Nothing has changed and the problem still exists.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if there is some sort of fix for this without me having to send it back to them to replace the speaker.

Hello tedebare73. I understand your notebook is making a weird sound from the left speaker.
Are there any other electronic devices (guitar amplifiers, cell phones, speakers) around the notebook? These can all cause very strange noises.
Try hard resetting the notebook as well. Here are the steps.
Shut down the notebook.
Remove the battery and AC power.
Press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds three times.
Replace the battery and AC power.
Verify whether the problem persists.
Finally, if neither of the above have an effect try removing and reinstalling the driver. Here are instructions.
Go to your Device Manager.
Expand the "Sound, video, and game controllers" section.
Right click on your audio device and select "Uninstall."
Reboot the notebook. Windows will automatically reinstall the driver.
Verify whether the problem persists.
Let me know the results. Have a wonderful day!
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

NO SOUND (I tried everything) ENVY 14 BEATS EDITION

ENVY 14 BEATS EDITION 2001tx
Product #: LZ812PA#ACF
WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE 64-bit
Service Pack 1
Location: Tokyo
I read through these forums and literaly tried all the solutions, hopefully you will prove me wrong and give me the answers I need.
So my pc went into hibernation and when I woke it up there was no sound. I did the following in no particular order:
- uninstall, re-install audio driver (a million times, a million different ways)
- installed the chipsets
- booted, rebooted several times
- restored pc to 4 days ago
- undated BIOS
Still to no avail, this actually happened once before but I was able to fix it right away, this was a few months ago.
I can see my equalizer move up and down as it moves with youtube or music but there is absolutely no sound coming out the computer nor the external speakers I plug in. No turn on or shut down sounds either, ZERO.
HELP!
Annoyed...

Hello belloblock,
Another document you can follow to try and resolve the issue - No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7)
I understand that performing a reset can be a nuisance but a hard or forced reset erases all information in the computer's memory which may restore functionality. Resetting your computer forces the system to clear and reestablish the software connections between the BIOS and the hardware.
Performing a hard or forced reset might fix the following conditions:
-Windows stops responding.
-Computer stops before Windows loads - no boot, blinking cursor on a black display, and errors relating to OS not found or a missing drive.
-Display suddenly goes blank and stays blank.
-Software freezes.
-Keyboard stops responding.
-The computer does not return from sleep or suspend mode.
-An external device stops responding. (Turn off the power to that device in addition to performing the steps in this document.)
As you can see, a hard reset although not convenient could resolve the issue you are experiencing and is very much worth a try.
If you're still experiencing issues after the steps that I provided in this post, please click the link below to get the support number for your region:

HP Envy 14 Beats Edition Equalizer Presets deleted

So I have had my Envy 14 Beats Edition for awhile now (5 months). It has been causing me problems, but the one that is bothering me the most currently is the fact that my Equalizer no longer works.
A few weeks ago I set all settings in my equalizer to max to get the most sound out as I could for a dance session. Since then no matter what I do the equalizer stays at the settings that I changed it to. Even if I changed seperate dB settings (i.e. bass vs highs) the sound still comes out exactly the same.
Beats Studio and Beat Tour presets no longer make a difference either.
Does anyone know a fix to this problem?

Hi,
Open windows Control Panel, open Administrative Tools and open Services. Check that the following services are all showing as Status= Started and Startup Type= Automatic
Audio Service
Multimedia Class Scheduler
Windows Audio
Windows Audio Endpoint Builder
If you need to make a change to any of the above, just right click the service and select Properties, then in the dropdown box next to 'Start-up type', select Automatic and click Apply to save the change. Then click the Start button.
What happens when you try to reinstall the IDT driver using Recovery Manager now?

New beats laptop crackle sound

I just got this laptop yesterday I absolutely love it, but when I have music playing or any other sound source there is a static or crackle noise near the right speaker. Subtle but completely annoying.

I've been posting my tip around the site, but I thought posting it here would be easier than you guys having to look for suggestions.
I just got my laptop yesterday and I've been trying to figure why the beats audio sounds like doo-doo.
I found a way to make the sound balanced and not uber choppy.
Go to Control Panel > Sound
Click Speakers and Headphones > Properties
Under Enhancements choose what you would like to enhance.
I clicked Bass Boost, Virtual Surround, and Loudness Equilization.
Next is the most important, click Levels.
When I first clicked this my Bass was set to -20 and my Treble to 4. 100% polar opposites and this was the default settings!
I set my bass to 4 and treble to 0 and I don't hear and crackling or clipping. I'm happy now.
You may also need to play around with the equalizer levels in the Beats Interface to get it just right for you, but the Beats Tour setting sounds decent now.
I hope this helps.

Speakers sound issue on Envy 14 Beats Edition

Hi all,
For few days now, my one year Envy 14 has a weird speakers sound issue. When the sound level passes over 50%, there is a lot of scratches and distorsion on the speaker, in that case, it is not usable at all.
Note that this issue does not happen on the jack outputs, with a headset, the sound is perfect, or it is as it also was on the speakers some days ago.
I'm posting here to be able to find the source of the issue. My Envy runs Ubuntu from the beginning, I've just tested with a old Ubuntu LiveCD and the problem is the same, so this is not a Ubuntu or software issue.
Now, my main question is does this come from the speakers themselves? From the audio board? From the main board? How can I diagnose?
Thanks for your help.

I have the same exact problem with mine. I have a problem with my webcam as well. They are both hardware problems and need to new parts. If I knew where to get them I would have have told you.

HP Envy 14 Beats Edition - Windows 7 Boots But Won't Function - Recovery Won't Work

Hello,
I have been trying for two days now to recover this laptop. For some reason it will not fully boot Windows 7. I have tried using F11 recovery, HP Recovery Disks, and a Windows 7 Install Thumb drive. In each case I get past the "Starting Windows 7" screen. With any of the HP versions of recovery listed above I get to a blue screen with a white sunburst at the top. I get a functioning mouse icon (i.e. moving the mouse moves the cursor) however nothing else works. With the WIndows 7 install thumb drive, I get past the language selection screen to "Install Windows 7 Now" screen. If I choose the recover option the text disappears and it permanently hangs, if I choose "Install Windows 7 Now" it changes to "Starting Setup Now" and then hangs at that point.
Clearly the issue appears to be a harddrive read error. I've started pressed Escape and run the diagnostic tests. All show harddrive errors. If I launch into the BIOS and run the Harddrive test there, I get an error saying the drive is Full. If I run Ubuntu's Disk Utility and Self Test, I get "Current Pending Sector Count" errors showing 27 bad sectors.
What I really don't get is that the HP recovery CD hangs at the same place as the harddrive. I'm certain I could format the harddrive with Linux, but then my understanding is that all bets are off with the HP recovery software.
Oddly enough, I can boot the computer from a unetbootin Live Ubuntu installation and it works just fine. I can see the harddrive and have successfully backed up all my data. I can see 4 partitions and their contents (System, NTFS, Recovery, and HP_Tools). Ubuntu works like a champ from the thumb drive (I'm posting this in Firefox from the laptop now).
If it were my laptop I'd install Ubuntu and throw the Windows 7 stuff in the trash. However, it's my wife's and she's not at all keen on using Linux (I tried that once before when Linux was much too immature).
Thanks for any suggestions.
Blessings,
Lee

Solved my own problem.
Booted from Linux-live thumb drive to gain access to drive. Backed up files.
Used Linux Disk Utility to format C: partition.
Used Restore discs I previously made to restore system to factory.
Seems like another case of I was lucky enough to have a sector go bad that contained some very important Windows 7 file so the drive suddenly became unwritable by Windows. Linux could mount and read/write the drive, but Windows refused. Some days I hate computers.
Blessings!

I have the error code 90b in my hp envy 14 beats edition (HP ENVY 14t-2000 CTO Notebook PC)

The problem has been happening for about a week and a half. Every time i open the computer from either sleep or hibernate it will turns on like it is working but then the screen will imediatly go black and shortly after shut off then i have to turn it on . When i turn it on it gives me the error message 90b. Is there any solutions and or reason why this is happeneing, ive been trying to find a solution or reason but ive yet to find one.

It is a problem with the cooling fan. Try blowing it out with compressed air while holding the fan blades with a bent-out paperclip. If dust flies that is good. Now remove battery and AC and hold down the power button 30 seconds. Now insert AC and start, but go into BIOS (F10). Then leave BIOS and reset to defaults as you go. With luck that will clear the message. If not, the fan needs to be replaced. Post back if you need help with that.

Weird ringing noise when laptop is plugged into AC - HP ENVY 14-2050se Beats Edition Notebook PC

Hi, last month I bought this HP ENVY 14-2050se Beats Edition Notebook from a nearby electronics store and I loved it from first sight. Except a few problems emerged when I first turned it on at home. First, yes I did a full hp recovery factory restore when I got home. It is running Windows 7 Home Premium and I already tried muting the microphone and speakers and it has not solved the problem whatsoever but it only shows up when I have my Envy plugged into AC power, on battery it makes no noises.
The problem is that whenever it is plugged in it makes a weird ringing noise which is very clear and hearable to me and my friends and gives me headaches constantly. The noise is almost identicle to that ringing noise you get in your ears after hearing very loud noises. I tried using my mom's HP ac adapter on my Envy and it still produces the noise so its not the adapter itself im assuming. Also, sometimes when playing music or watching videos on youtube it will hang for a split second or so once every while and make a weird buzzing noise, im assuming that could be normal behavior though and im not as worried about that so much as my other problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated, I just want to enjoy this great laptop!
Sincerely, Lance Shults

Hi, you aren't the only one.
I have a HP Envy, and I have this rining noise as well.
it is odd.
If I had to take a guess (I've been in IT for almost 17 years), I think it might be the power supply for some reason, in the laptop. Not the external supply.
Nearest I can say is it is a fast paced ring/ding.
Is yours similar?

Dm4 beats edition sound quality

hi
just got a new dm4 se3170 beats edition .
Connected it to external speakers , and the sound isnt good & clear enough.
a friend of mine has dv6 , also with beats audio, and the sound is much more "open" / "clear" / "round" and "full" .
you can hear every note, every instrument very clear and warm. perfect sound.
its not the same with my notebook
i compared both notebooks on same speakers, same songs, with same beats EQ settings,
and it just a different sound..
can it be that the sound of dv6 is much better than the dm4 beats edition ? is there a significant hardware difference ?
i don't know if that's how it is (if yes , very very disappointing), or that something is wrong with my notebook...
bought it mainly because of the sound and beats audio.
by the way ; tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver, didnt make a change.
will appreciate getting help from one of your sound experts.

Hi, thanks , did most of the things listed in the document link, but it didnt help. no problem was found.
sound is still not OK.
no dynamic range,
its like sounds are getting mixed together,
the high tones are very very high and dominant. its like i have no mid tones, and also bass very week and not sharp.
at the sound window i have speakers & headphones - as default device, and communication headphones - as ready. is that how it should be ?
must say again i tested another notebook (dv6 of a friend) with the same speakers, with same beats EQ settings , with same music and it was perfect. so its clear i guess the problem is at my hardware and not my beats settings or the speakers.
IM reminding that it my model dm4 beats edition i have only one jack for both speakers and mic. is it possible that the problem related to this thing ?
what should i do more ??
IM desperate.... waiting for more help from you..

Pop Crackle Sound at Each Audio Edit Point

Hello!
For the life of me I can't figure this one out.
I am working on a video using Final Cut 4.5. I am using audio that I have separated from the video image. At every AUDIO edit point (beginning or ending) I get a pop or crackle sound.
I have tried cutting out the ends of each segment but that does not help. The popping sound always occurs at the ends of each segment no matter how long or short they are. The audio was captured at 48khz, 16bit and was originally married to the video.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
Ann

This happens everyonce in a while with me. At those points I'll add a 5 or 6 frame audio +3db dissolve. It should clean it right up.

K7T Turbo R Limited Edition and crackleing sound

I started getting a crackling sound recently. I never had that problem before. The only thing I can think of that I have done that may have started it was to update the bios and the via chipset drivers. I tried to reinstall the 442 drivers (only the pci part) but no change. I reinstalled the 443.
I read in other threads that it could be either a latency problem. Also moving the sblive sound card could do fix the sound. I don’t seem to have any latency timing adjustments in the bios and I tried moving the sound card to number 3 and the number 6 slot with no luck. I have tried a couple of 686 bug fixes and they didn’t work. But I have also read where that wouldn’t work so I removed them.
Is there anything that might work?
Win XP
AMD 1800+
Gforce 4 mx 440
512 meg 133 ram
60 gig HD Maxtor 7200
40 gig HD Maxtor 7200
Promise Ultra 100 controller (Couldn’t get the onboard raid controller to work.)
SbLive 5.1
Actiontec 56k PCI call waiting modem
Asus 50 cd
Mitsumi 16 speed cdrw
Iomega zip 100

install "PCI Latency" patch for VIA chipsets
