Audio Cracking
- So far, there are no problems yet and the sound crackling is gone at the moment. Though, I'm not sure whether it will come back or not.
- If you have a Windows 7 machine with a Realtek sound chipset or drivers, then you may have run into a problem where you randomly hear crackling or popping.
After upgrading from windows 7 to windows 10 i have found audio crackling and unstable, i have updated the drivers and windows to latest windows updates.

But i have tried this before and not solved the issue. Now i searched on google and found a method and tried it and now solved and no more audio crackling or video frames drop. The issue was with intel cpu eist feature support.

I turned it off in bios and now the problem solved. This issue its a bug with microsoft windows intel cpu embedded driver and this issue exists on windows 8 and 8.1 and 10 until now. And does not exists in windows 7.
I hope microsoft to fix this asap. I need to re enable the intel cpu EIST feature asap.
Cause i fear of system instability or hardware damage. Thanks for help.
Dear HP Support Team! There are many discussions on this issue. Of course, some of them are solved! BUT, I'm sure, that a lot of people are experiencing the same problem as me., namely, e ach time the GPU throttles (observed with and/or and/or ), it causes a DPC latency spike ( 60k as in my case, measured with ) which causes sound glitches (audio crackling, popping, stuttering), when I listen to a music, browsing the Internet (for example)!!! You can be sure, So, my question is: why there is still no solution to this problem?! (for those, who use nVidia graphic card) or disabling Windows Aero!
I have this problem more than two years since I bought my HP Compaq 8710p (GC102EA) with Windows Vista preinstalled, and now with Windows 7 Ultimate! Please, reply!!! P.S.: Here're some discussions to this subject:.
You can find more by searching to the forums ' and using the tags: 'CRACKLING', 'POPPING', 'STUTTERING'. I have the same problem, only mine only does it on start-up and shutdown. Brand new dv7 3174 right out of the box and it's got deffects.
Does HP not turn these on and test them before putting them on shelves??? This is ridiculous it's gone on this long and HP has offered no solution. Also i spoke to HP on the phone today and they state that there is no record of this being an issue. Yet all one has to do is google the issue to find out that most if not all of there customers are experiencing these same issues. I personally would not buy HP again after this, the sales guy tried to talk me into buying a different name brand at the store and I didn't listen cause I liked the DV7, so maybe I brought this on myself.
SHAME ON HP FOR THERE TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SUPPORT ALONG WITH RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. You are certainly right. I have the same bug in my Slimline s5330la with Win7. It started as soon as I took it out of the box. Any media file sounds distorted with a very annoying intermitent 'buzz'. Updating the BIOS (to V5.07) and reinstalling the Realtek HD Audio driver didn't help.
HP support changed the machine (it was 2 days old) and sent me a brand new one.with the SAME problem!!!!!! I just installed it and it has the same distortion. I've been on the phone with HP support and they have no clue on what is happening (or they are aware of the problem but do not have a solution!!) I agree with you that this doesn't seems as a 'sound' problem since when a song is being played with the HP MediaSmart program and the title of the song appears on the screen, the name of the song 'jumps' and 'freezes' at the same time as the distortion appears as if the machine got some kind of interference (like the one you get when a cellphone is near a speaker). I think your 'dpc latency' diagnosis is correct. I hear the distortion when the red bar of the DPC Latency Checker goes off the charts! It seems that many HP's have this problem since I've found a lot of threads with this issue, unfortunately with no real solution.
I have 3 HPs at home, but after this glitch, this is certainly the last one I will ever buy. I thought I had a sound problem but after following your advice and checking the latency of my PC (brand new slimline s5330la) I realized that the problem was not the sound driver but the wireless driver.
Disabiling the 802.11n Wireless PCI Express Card Lan Adapter 'corrects' the problem. This is not a solution given what without that driver you are off-line! However, at least it is more clear what the problem is. The pc came with the version 3.0.1.0 of the driver by Ralink Technology. HP has no updated driver for that component on their website but you can download the 3.1.0.0 version from Install it and the problem is solved. It's not an HP problem, it appears to be an issue with WIndows 7.
Both my Toshiba laptop and my HP desktop (not as bad though) has this issue (and they have different versions of the Realtek audio chip.) I have noticed that this tends to happen when there is considerable hard drive read/write activity. UPDATE: I've been doing some research on the issue and apparently built-in pci-e WiFi cards can cause spikes. I disabled my onboard wireless card (through device manager) and according to the DPC latency checker the spikes have disappeared. I'll give another update to see if it works out.
