    Hello I'm new here. Just wanted to know if any of you having this laptop have experienced a "clicking" sound whenever a sound is played in windows.
    If so how to solve this problem?

    Thx.

    I believe other users have mentioned a similar problem in the Acer forum. I believe it's a driver issue that's causing the click. I remeber that the user was told it happens when the sound card mutes itself after playing audio. Different drivers eliminated the problem, but it was drivers for a different manufacturer (Dell I think). Don't know if it ever was resolved. This was probably early this year.

    Had the same problem with M40 laptop half a year ago and figured it out to be nothing but a power saving feature. Don't remember exactly, but go to control panel and find something that's the equivelant of a sound/speaker manager. You'd be able to find option to turn your speakers to "full power".
