My mother-in-law gave me her old laptop and it worked great until my brother borrowed it for a power point presentation. Since I got it back the speakers crackle like they have been blown but when I plug headphones in i hear the same crackle in them. This makes me think it's something other than the actual speakers, has anyone else had this problem?
Hi, I have just had a similar problem on my Acer5600 notebook regadless of if the speakers of headphones were being used. A continuous buzz, hum and crackle which varied depending upon if I ran the notebook in high performance or low performance. The high performance setting gave the worse results. I had installed Adobe CS3 suite (Trial version) 2 days ago so have just uninstalled it. Hey Presto, half way through the uninstall process i heard a click and the noise has gone !!. I can only assume its a driver conflict of some sort.
Hope this helps anyone else with a similar problem :-)
Try making sure all the volume mixer settings are less than 90% of maximum as this can sometimes cause this problem
