    Hello i recently purchased a new dell xps L702x laptop but i have a little problem with it. The right speaker makes a hissing noise all the time its not loud but i can still hear it if i am in a quiet place. the speaker plays audio fine its just the hissing sound. I tried installing differed os and drivers and i found out that the problem exist only in windows, when i installed ubuntu i get no hissing and the audio is perfect so i assumed it was a driver issue but i cannot find a driver to fix it. Also i tried the same drivers on another xps laptop and i get no hissing.. the problem exists even if i connect external speakers or headphones to it again on the right one. i am really confused anyone has a similar problem or a solution?

    Drivers tested all from Dell website.
    Also tried disabling some equalizers and special effects from the realtek software.
    Changed the sample rate.
    No solution yet.
    Is it possible that there is a hardware problem? if yes why i get no problems on ubuntu? i understand there is a new technology in audio in these laptops smth with waves max audio is there a way to disable that?
