    Crackling Headphone Audio at Low Levels


    Hi there, I'm not quite sure if this is an issue with my device or with Windows 11, so if this should be on the HP forum then I apologize. I am also slightly unsure what topic this fits into, so I've just put it into devices and drivers.Recently I got a new laptop, an HP Omen 16-n0xxx the AMD version and everything has been working great except the audio. Listening at normal audio levels everything sounds fine, however whenever I listen to something at low volume levels the audio becomes very crackly and sometimes things are so quiet they cut out entirely. At first I thought I could just bea

    Crackling audio. Skyrim + other games

    USB headphones have never been kind to me. They always hiss, pop and crackle. The fact that you can hear it when no audio is being played suggests it's a power /connection issue.

    Do you have any 3.5mm or RCA based headphones you can try?

    Crackling Headphone Audio at Low Levels

    Lumia 920 audio crackling

    I bought my lumia 920 five days ago.



    - notifications are crackling through the speaker

    - notification are NOT crackling through the headphone

    - in phone music is crackling through the speaker

    - in phone music is NOT crackling through the headphone

    - streaming music is not crackling

    - metrotube videos are not crackling

    - taptitude game is not crackling (also tried other games)

    - xbox extras is crackling a lot



    How to reproduce the main problem:

    Start a locally stored song from xbox music, while increasing and decreasing the volume i can hear a lot of glitch mixed with the song.

    When i reach the highest volume level, keeping volume-up pressed, i can still hear glitches.

    The glitches disappear releasing the volume buttons.

    It coud be possible that xbox music and notifications are handled through a low system audio layer (different from streaming), the same layer that it is apparently defected in my Lumia 920?



    Do you think the sound issue is a software bug and Nokia/Microsoft will fix it?

    Did you have the same problem?



    Regards
