    Mine did this. I lived with it for quite a few months but I finally got tired of it and sent it in for RMA. I never found a software fix of any kind. They replaced the speaker assembly, audio board, and motherboard. It has never happened again. However, mine would NOT stop if you plugged in headphones. It would continue to do it. It was extremely loud but sounded exactly like yours.

    Another problem that could be software of hardware related but seems to be hardware. Mine is exactly the same also although I haven't seen mine do this since I repasted so im adamant that it was heat related as mine only did it once I exited a benchmark, game, stress test and it was as the GPU/CPU cooled it would cause it but it would only happen once and for about 10 seconds and then gone.

    Mine did this after playing a game sometimes, and I had to hibernate to get it to go away.

    Try this, download gpu shark and check your temps. If they're higher than 90c, you've got a heat issue causing it.

    I personally blew air through my vents, knocking out a bunch of dust bunnies, and the problem went away, and my temps dropped by about 20c
