Lattitude E5550 audio speakers crackling

I'm having a problem with a sound of crackling static as coming from the speakers on an E5550 whenever I play audio. I don't hear any crackling sound if I plug headphones into the headphone jack.

I use the audio driver A06 (Audio_Driver_0VFFR_WN32_6.0.1.6075_A06).

Any suggestions?

FYI for everyone with this problem, it is fixed (for me, at least) with the audio driver revision A13:

Audio_Driver_8HVVV_WN32_6.0.1.6105_A13

  • On Satellite P100-160 speakers crackling

    Hi all

    I have recently come to buy a new P100 - 160 and overall I am impressed bits with it.

    However, there is one thing that is really upset me... and this is the sound quality.

    When I bought the computer laptop one of the points of sale, it was that he had "Harman/Kardon" who are supposed to be really, really good. Now, from 3D / Surround sound point of view, I must say that they seem certainly lives up to what I was told.

    However - in terms of 'volume capacity' speakers seems not to give maximum... and I don't have to have the volume to the point that neighbors can here it is!

    Turn the speakers more than about 1/4 of the way, and the very crazy - especially when he plays speakers/crackle anything with even a slight bit of bass.

    I tried to change the equalizer and the volume in Media Player settings, but that didn't help either.

    If someone has had this problem, or anyone know what can be the solution?

    Thank you
    Kessa

    You re right.
    Certainly, the laptop comes with Harman/kardon speakers and usually these speakers also known as the 'good quality '.
    That's why I studied a bit in this forum for similar issues and found this link to the Toshiba document on crackling noise on Satellite P100.
    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB6801JF0000R01.htm

    It seems the BIOS and driver update should be done.
    A tip: you can try to remove the old audio driver files before installing the new.

    Good luck

  • Speakers crackle

    I have an Inspiron 11 3000 series and there is a sound of crackling from speakers. How can I fix?

    Your laptop should have a pre-installed Realtek audio driver. Assuming that this driver is still installed, you place in the native Windows audio driver to test the speakers.

    1. open Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in the box of Windows search).
    2. develop the 'audio controllers, video & game' and right click on "Realtek High Definition Audio".
    3 Select this option to "Update driver software".
    4. click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
    5. click on "Let Me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".
    6. put the "Show compatible hardware" check box if not already checked.
    7. in the list of devices, click on 'High Definition Audio"(native driver).
    8. click on "next".
    9. in the update driver warning box, click 'Yes' (the driver).
    10 restart the portable computer if you are prompted. If not invited, so no need to restart.
    [To return to the Realtek driver, do it again but reverse the names in steps 1-6.]

    If the speakers crackle even with the native driver then it might well be hardware failure. Contact technical support to get it repaired.

  • Re: Speakers Crackle on Satellite A100-049

    I've only had my phone for over a year, but for about six months now the top speakers crackle. Especially when I play music but it can happen when matches are played on there also. Why is this?

    Hmm maybe, there is a fault of the speaker.
    Have you checked if the same crackling noise would appear using the headset?

  • Realtek High Defination Audio speakers is not plugged in, no sound in Windows

    Hi guys.

    I got my PC for about 2 years now, and all of a sudden my audio stopped working. When I go to manage my audio devices in the Control Panel, it says "realtek high definition audio speakers are not connected. I use the onboard sound on the motherboard Asus Maximus V extreme.

    Therefore, the realtek digital output has been selected automatically. I since changed it NVIDIA high definition audio digital output - so that sound for now plays on my speakers monitors via the HDMI cable.

    I tried my speakers on an MP3 player and they work no - including the cable, so the speakers and cable are not a problem.

    I tried to restore the pc to a time where noise - WORKS DO not STILL working.

    Downloaded the latest drivers Realtek and installed - DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK.

    Deleted the latest drivers and install them from the CD of motherboard drivers - DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK.

    I disabled all audio devices, hoping that speakers will then - DO WORKS not ALWAYS. Help, please...

    System:

    Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

  • Qosmio F60 - 14U - audio made crackling

    Hi guys, I just bought a toshiba qosmio f 60 - 14u with a preinstalled Win7 and I had some problems with it.

    When I play the audio (music is worse than movies) the sound is imbued with crackling as static, appearing erratically during the game. This happens as well with the speakers and the headphones on. It seems that the problem is internal, but I don't know if I can do something myself. Can you help me, please?

    Thank you

    Thanks Hicksior for your comments. It's very useful information and I hope it can help engloute to check if noticed the problem is related to the use of WLAN.

  • Satellite A20-S103: after HDD upgrade light noise speakers crackle

    Hello

    After putting on a new hitachi 160g HDD, I have lived a "cracking" by the speakers sound.

    I thought it was something wrong with the hard drive, so I went back to the store and changed it to a seagate, but the noise is still there.

    Hajlu

    Hello

    When I see this crackling noise?
    It does not appear if you listen to mp3 files stored on the HARD drive or if you are using an audio CD?

    160 GB HARD drive is a really imposing size and as far as I know not every size of HARD drive can be used in the notebook.

    AFAIK the A20 Sat were shipped with a 40 GB HARD drive.
    I don't know if the large size of HARD drive has a bad influence on the sound quality, but it would be very interesting to know if this crackling noise would appear if you use a smaller size of HDD like 60 or 80 GB of m.

    By the way; After replacing HARD drive, you have installed the operating system and drivers. Did you use the right audio driver?

  • Computer speakers crackling noise

    Hello I got my pc for more than 3 years and just discovered this forum!

    My pc is only used as a jukebox of the touch screen, but it makes a noise of terrible crackling from the (sometimes stronger than other periods) pc speakers. This always happened, it seems completely crazy that I just decided to solve the problem!

    Any ideas?

    Can you please tell us what model of PC do you have? Are you using the original version of the OS preinstalled?
    > What has always happened...
    How to understand this? Have you noticed this problem on the first day?

    Have you tried to test the sound quality using headphones, different ways to test the internal speakers, whatever it is?
    Please post a little more information. This can help us understand the problem.

  • Satellite A500-026 - the speakers crackle

    Hi all, I was wondering if anyone else has had problems with creaking speakers with their A500-026?

    There seems to be some problems on the internet with other versions of the A500. This computer was shipped with Windows 7 and has always had problems with the Crackle of the speakers, and in particular with iTunes and Media player. Some people have apparently corrected this with driver updates, but NVidea State should not update to say or the present update of Toshiba.
    Toshiba does know that there is a problem?

    Should I just return the computer because it is pretty useless if the speakers do not really work! I only got it since November.

    Any advice welcome.
