    it could be hardware or software problem. can you go to your device manager and look for the item and see if there's an exclamation mark next to it?

    I think it might be a hardware issue. I got my dv5t and it was working fine until i tried to connect a microphone to it. I couldn't get any sound out of it and then my speakers started making this loud clicking noise.

    I tried reinstalling the drivers, updating the bios, nothing worked. It mysteriously went away after a week or so, but now randomly if im listening to music it will make strange noises and then i dont get anymore sound. It will work again after a reboot but it doesn't last long.
