    I just received my HP DV6t from HP, overall i love the machine except for one issue. When i press the mute button on screen my speakers pop/crackle ever so often Its annoying the hell out of me. It only happens when the stupid mute light is on. It crackles when a program opens. is this to remind me my computer is on mute or something. If i lower the volume all the way down no crackle. This thing is just weird.

    Have you tried updating your sound drivers?

    in the IDT settings menu, go to the Preferences tab > Settings > General - and make sure Power Management and External Amp Powerdown are NOT enabled.

    Sublime, you are a lifesaver, I was thinking something might be wrong with my new computer. Thanks.
