    Realtech audio, crackling speakers, static, after update


    So far as I can see, all of similar threads have been closed - not because they have been fixed, but...


    So, again, as far as I can see, the "solutions" are:


    Dumb down the speakers and audio - CD quality, remove enhancements, etc. NOT A SOLUTION

    Dumb down / retro-install old drivers -from Windows 8 !!! How is THAT a solution?

    Use an external device - great, if you're not getting digital output from various 'net or apps

    Dump the PC and go to Mac - then install Windows 10 emulator on the Mac. I actually LOVE this one, but absolutely HATE Apple products....


    I have been using Windows 10 and associated drivers for years (early adapter) and hadn't an issue prior to this season's Updates - because of this I have removed ALL of the Update options and gone back to full manual. Not the best thing. NEVER had an issue. NEVER.


    This BS could well move me to Chrome, a variation of Unix or, as last resort, a Mac (god help us all).


    And it's not this one issue either - the updates this year have crippled many things and wasted more hours than have been spent troubleshooting products for the past few decades of MS iterations.


    And they really want to make this a subscription service?!?

    Crackling and static noise coming out of the speakers

    Hello,

    Since a couple of days there is a crackling sound as well as static noise coming from the speakers. It is not a hardware issue, as I replaced them with another set, nor a line out cable issue as I tried 3 different cables nor a software one as all drivers
    are up to date.

    When I configure them in control panel as stereo the noise is NOT there.

    WIN 10 X64 updated

    AMD HD Audio Device

    and Microsoft HD Audio device

    Please advise

    Realtek HD Audio latency leading to crackling sounds from the speakers

    I have a problem with the Realtek HD Audio speakers driver. Everytime a sound is about to be play, the speakers of the laptop make a crackling sound, similar to the sound of static electricity.

    I am using Windows 10 and have the latest version of the Realtek HD Audio driver.

    I ran the Latencymon v 6.50 to check for latencies, and I get the following result:

    "Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. You are likely to experience buffer underruns appearing as drop outs, clicks or pops. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. Also one or more ISR routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. At least one problem appears to be network related. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates."

    These results appear to be spot-on, however I'm surprised it mentions that at least one problem is network related, since I have the latest network drivers, and even when disabling the network adapters I still get the crackling sound.

    I reckon the CPU throttling mentioned is related to the CPU exectution cap which I already set to 100%.

    The other thing I need to mention is that this is a new laptop, and from the first day, even with the old drivers I noticed the crackling sound, and I assumed it would go away after I updated the drivers. I have all the newest drivers and I still get this problem.

    The funny thing is that when I plug-in the laptop, it somehow does not give the crackling sound, but when I approach my ear to the speakers, I hear that they are on, even when nothing is playing ( I know because they emit some kind of barely distinguishable white noise). When the laptop is not plugged in however the speakers make the crackling noise before playing sound, and when they finish playing the sounds, the speakers go off ( when I approach my ear the white noise isn't heard anymore).

    Notice that the crackling sound is heard only once: after I click on some audio to play; then the crackling disappears, only to appear when I got to the next song ( or audio file).

    What do you suggest I do about it? In the beginning I thought it was a hardware problem, but given the fact that during playback the speakers do not exhibit any weird behavior, I am led to believe it is a drivers' problem.

    Audio from laptop speaker crackles

    I have a Dell Inspiron 15 laptop that starting making crackling noises in it's built in speakers last week. It makes the noise when playing any kind of sound. I ran the audio troubleshooter and nothing was found. I rolled back a display
    driver update I got a few days before hand but it was still making the noise. I then uninstalled the audio driver and restarted my laptop. When it came back on, the driver came back by itself and it stopped making the crackling noises. But tonight it started
    doing it again. I ran the troubleshooter again and it suggested turning off audio enhancements but nothing is checkmarked except "immediate mode". I removed the checkmark but the sound is still crackling.
