    Hello guys, I have a problem with my p150em laptop that I bought like 2 years ago in xotixpc

    I made a clean windos 7 ultimate installation (64 bit) and then I started to have some noise from my speakers. It's like a static /crackle/popping noises. In the lasts months everything was cool, there was no problem at all, but since I formated my hdd the problem came.
    I remember that this problem happens to me the first time I used this laptop but searching on the web I got the solution, this time I can't get this thing work!!!!

    On the web says that it's a problem with realtek and there's a lot of people with the same problem, like you can see in this forum
    Realtek issues with Windows 7 - Windows 7 Help Forums

    Well, I hope that you guys have some solution for me because I'm getting crazy!!!


    Look at the video that I recorded. Here you can listen the noise.

    I have the drivers of the clevo site and even without drivers installed the problem still there.

    So I don't really know what to do, please help me.

    Thanks a lot!

    PD: Sorry my english, I not from an english country

    hey PIPE

    Hope someone can help you out, Hutsady probably should, being your laptop a xotic.
    Listening to the video i am not so sure its a driver issue, i also recall a thread about clevo sound issues and some updates and tweaks usefull for that.

    good luck with it.

    I remember people have reported fixing it with a driver update, but unfortunately I cant find that direct link.

    Have you tried Sager's drivers instead of Clevo's? Software Upgrade

    Gracias Vozier, me contactaron desde xoticpc, espero que llegue a alguna parte todo esto, sigo buscando cualquier hilo que tenga información he encontrado hartos pero aún no lo soluciono.

    Hi, thanks for ur answer, yes I'm using my internal speakers but the problem comes even with my headset/earphones.
    windows 7 x64 ultimate is the o.s. that I used, and maybe it's a problem of this windows version?

    Hi hutsady, i sent u an email like one week ago, but maybe u didn't saw it? do u remember when i bought this laptop to u? hahaha

    I don't use the sager driver, I used the clevo ones and the i tried with the most updated from the different official website.

    I will try this from sager website, maybe something could happen

    Sorry if there was a late reply from me. Give the Sager drivers a shot and see if that changes anything and let us know.

    As i commented via PM i sometimes have a crackling noise in my internal speakers or headphones, but only after oplaying and exiting certain games and a system restart usually fixes it, I understand this aint your problem PIPE, but i hope you can fix it with driver updates and THX tweaks.

    Here I found some links, its NOT the exact post i recall reading and using, but it may help, maybe you can PM some of the posters.
