Constant sound output.

Hi,

For us to provide you an accurate resolution regarding constant sound from your laptop, we would like to know the following:

• When you say "constantly making and immediately repeating a noise", are you referring to your laptop fan?
• Is this the first time you experienced the issue?
• Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (e.g., updates, software installation)?
• To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

We look forward to your response.

 

Constant sound issues with Realtek Sound. Suddenly no sound at all.

Hi Glenn,

This sounds like a driver issue. In order for me to isolate the sound problem on your device, I'd like to ask a few questions:

• Which Windows build and version are you currently using? To check, click
  Start, type WINVER, and press Enter.
• What is the make and model of your device?

• Have you made any recent changes to your computer like installing updates?

In the meantime, you may check this article on how to
fix sound problems and check if you've already attempted all the steps listed in it.

Also, I'd like to ask for the Hardware Ids of the sound driver. To check the Hardware Ids, follow the steps below:

1. Click Start, type Device Manager, and press
   Enter.
2. Under Sound, video and game controllers, right-click the audio device listed and select
   Properties.
3. Under the Details tab, click Device description and select
   Hardware Ids.
4. Right-click on the list of Ids, select all then copy and paste it into your next reply.
   

Your response will be highly appreciated.

 

Windows 10 and disappearing sound

Hi,



Thank you for updating us on the issue.



Since the above steps did not help to fix the issue. I suggest you to uninstall and re-install the sound card and check if it helps.

• 
  Press (Windows key + X) and click on “Device Manager”.
  
• 
  Expand “Sound, video and game controller”.
  
• 
  Right click on the device driver and select
  uninstall.
  
• 
  Once uninstall is done, restart the computer.
  

Hope this helps. Post us with the status we will be glad to help you.
