Windows 10: Audio Speaker not loud even on 100. I have tried all I know how to do.

The audio speaker for my HP laptop is not working well even on volume 100. I have installed and uninstalled several times. I am at my wit's end. I cannot even hear any sound if I am not in the same room as the laptop.

Crackling Audio in Windows 10 on Speakers (not headphones)

Hi, as a long time lurker I just wanted to thank everyone first.


Well, I have a dell xps 9550 and recently experienced crackling audio on my speakers with no clear reason why.

I have read the other discussion on the topic of crackling audio on windows 10 however it has not helped me.

The audio is crackling/distorted when played through loud speaker, however seems to work fine when played through headphones. Headphones is not an issue.


Here are the possible solutions which I have tried but did not work:

1. I tried different drivers (REALTEK, High Definition Audio) , but High Definition Audio is the one which gives the best results.

2. I tried different formats, studio quality 24 bit 44100hz gives the best results but is still distorted.

3. I tried removing enhancements and toggling the setts - did not work

4. I tried the latency tool - it says my system appears to be suitable for handling real-time audio and other tasks without drop outs

5. I tried increasing the min/max processor state to 100%, it did not change anything..

unfortunately I do not have a system restore state to restore to or else I would have tried that. I'm pretty sure it is a driver issue as the High Definition Audio driver gives much better results (less crackle) than Realtek drivers.

Is there anything else I can try? Any suggestions would be very appreciated as I need to study for exams but can't listen on loud speaker with this issue.

Thanks
