    i'm getting a clicking stuttering noise on my r4000 when I play games. It sounds like a stutter in the audio and then the game continues. Anyone else have this problem or have a fix?

    It sounds like something's not keeping up. Usually stutters in audio is caused when the system can't keep up with the video. You can try a few things to see if it helps.

    1. Lower the games graphics
    2. Install updated display drivers
    3. Re-install audio drivers (probably won't help)
    4. Try to remove as many apps/processes as you can from running in the background.
    5. Re-install the OS from scratch without all the apps/software loaded by HP. Install only the drivers needed for all the hardware to work and try again.

    Not necessarily in this specific order.
