    Hello!

    I have kinda strange problem with my new Clevo P150em.
    When im on battery with battery saving profile during youtube videoes, foobar music sound is slowing down and speakers are cracking.
    When switching to balanced the problem partially disappears.
    Only when laptop is working on AC there are no sound slowing down.
    I've already reinstall Realtek sound drivers and THX software but that didnt help.
    Is something wrong with power plans? I didnt change anything?
    Any ideas wound be appriciated. Cos' this sound issues are killing me and im thinking of returning this Clevo

    My spec:
    i7 3630
    gtx675mx
    8gb RAM
    SSHD 500gb
    win 7 HP

    Does the same thing happen when using another music player, say Winamp?

    When using foobar 2000 i have the same issue. Is that can be some hardware issues?
    Im wondering is HDD can be making that sounds slowing down and cracking speakers?

    When i turn on two youtube videos and foobar sound is almost stoping.

    Yes, slowing is the same.

    I done HDtune benchmark when playing 2 youtube videos and foobar. Is that can be wrong?
