Popping sound through laptop speakers W170ER

Hi all,

A while ago I noticed that my laptop started to make a popping sound. At the beginning I wasn't sure what was causing it, first I thought it was the harddisk.
Later it seemed to come from the speakers, but to be sure it wasn't the harddisk, I installed a new SSD and removed the orignal harddisk. Unfortunately the problem wasn't solved with the SSD installed.

Moments when the popping sound occurs:
- during booting.
- at random in the OS.
- while muting/unmuting by clicking on the speaker symbol.

Later I tried with headphones, the popping sound was hearable through it.

I tried a lot of different drivers too, all seemed to have the same problem.

Any idea what's causing this? Maybe a hardware failure?

Regards

 

Have you tried disabling the audio driver? It should switch over to windows drivers by default. If you have something like an audio manager, try disabling it at startup. Try updating the driver to the latest one if available.

 

Yeah, with the windows driver it's exactly the same. I tried several different drivers, also the newest one. If sound is muted, then there's no popping sound in Windows.
