Laptop speaker crackling noise problem

Andrei23 · Dec 31, 2011

Hello,

My laptop has developed a very annoying crackling noise in the right speaker as of late. I started noticing it as I was listening to some music on it, and then it gradually got worse and worse to the point that I couldn't bear it any more. I do not get this problem when I wear headphones, it's just the right speaker acting up. The laptop is new (less than two months old) and still under warranty. At the moment I have turned the speaker off and I am only running off the left one when not using headphones. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it. Also, I don't think it's driver related because the left speaker works flawlessly and I don't get the same annoying crackling sounds when using headphones.

could it be possible that you have somehow blew the right speaker? laptop speakers are usually paper thin

its blown. or the music is beyond the speakers freq range (though if the left one works id imagine its blown)

I have uninstalled the realtek hd audio driver, and after I restarted, the right speaker worked for a bit more, still crackling and then no sound was coming out of it any more, so I am now thinking it might be blown. I can hear only out of the left speaker now. I can still hear ok with the headphones, just no sound is coming out the right speaker anymore.

its blown. Get a new set of speakers that plug into your headphone jack and you should be good.
