How To Fix Laptop Speakers Crackling on Windows 10[Solved] 

October of 2022. Just bought a brand new Acer Aspire 3 for college and had sound issues when playing YT videos or any video for that matter. Sound was cutting in and out. Followed these steps and it fixed it. Thank you. Subbed!

Thanks! I got really stressed when the sound started crackling, and then I found this channel. Amazing, I will reccommend this to my friends! It worked perfectly!

I just upgraded my RAM to 32gb and thought maybe I had broken something internally. Can confirm that wasn't the case, this video was great & very easy to understand! Thank You!

I had given my laptop for some minor repair. After getting back home, I used my laptop for 2 or 3 days, that's when one my speaker started to give a crackling sound. Initially I thought that it was a hardware issue and the speaker has given up. The other though which I had in my mind was that the repairing guy replaced my speaker with a faulty one 😅. For more than a month I was using my laptop with a speaker giving out a cracking sound. Then I found this video. After following all the steps, my speaker was placed in in its original position. Thanks to this video. 😊

Thanks a million, sir! You instruction did help! Otherwise, I would have to take my computer to the service center which is 75 km from my hometown. Besides, they do not usually fix it straight away. One has to wait for 2-3 weeks or even more. May God grow you gracefully!

WTF my laptop speaker had a cracking sound and i tried this and now its not even working. You ruined my laptop speakers.

Omg thank you soooo much. I have had to deal with this problem for a month because nothing would work. You have no Idea how happy I am. Tysm!

Kudos!! It worked like a charm. I was facing this speakers issue for more than 2 years now and thought it was a hardware issue. This trick fixed my issue 90%, there were minor glitches I am hearing, but I can ignore.. Much Appreciated your work.. Thank you so much!!

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH , you saved me from sending my Laptop to repair during this pandemic.

7 October 2024 You are godsend. My hp pavilion started making crackling noise while playing video & audio. I have been searching for the past 3 hours on how to fix it. Nothing worked till now. After following these steps it’s finally working. I can’t thank you enough!!!!❤

Great video, I left a lofi stream on overnight, woke up and the speakers sounded like ass. Honestly, I think the sound mix from that stream killed my speakers a bit over a long span of time, though this method did make them sound more bearable but not quite as good as it sounded before.

THANK YOU SO MUCH BROTHER!! My parents just bought me my laptop and all of a sudden it started making that sound…they’d kill me if they heard how it sounded…thanks again!!😭😭❤️

I GOT STRESSED BECAUSE OF MY SPEAKER. THEN HERE YOU ARE SAVING MY DAY!!!! IT WORKS SMOOTHLY AGAIN THANKYOUUU

2 problems. I don't have the "High definition audio device" option nor do I have an "enhancements" tab in my speaker properties. My speakers crackle and I am only hearing half my volume most times (sometimes I get blasted with noise since I had to turn my volume up to hear anything). Using headphones is fine though.

Bruh you fixed my rattly speakers! I thought they blew up, got water damaged, or had dust in them but this worked! You are the best.

I bought new laptop 2 days ago (asus ) and it's making ticking sound sometimes, should I follow steps of this video to stop that ticking sound? ,pls reply

Thanks man !! ❤You saved my laptop. I was irritated with this issue for an year and thought that it could be a hardware issue. Now, my laptop speakers are more loud as well as the crackling noises were fixed.

I spended whole night watching videos and trying many times but your video is the one which was helpful to me 🤗🤗🤗🤗 thank you bro.

i just tried this out and it actually did work ! i was shocked by how much sound came out as i was so used to the broken sound for so long lmao

Thank u so much 😭 been struggling with this for years already, even brought my laptop to have it checked by the people from the store I bought it from and they also wasn’t able to fix it

I tried this on windows 11 and nothing works. Anytime a sound play through my laptop there’s this super loud static that will play over the sound and even if I completely mute the laptops audio the loud static noise will still play super loud even when the system says there’s no sound coming through and the static will just keep going for like 10-15 straight then it eventually dies out, but it’s just so loud I can’t stand it.

OMG TYSM!! I didn’t even have to do the full steps Cus my sound started working properly right after updating!! You’ve saved my life

Thank you so much, i don't need to visit the technician to fix my laptop. It is working now. God Bless.🙌

Brother when i click on apply button after selecting cd quality in advance option nothing happens instead dvd is selected automatic and my sound has been more lower

Oh dude what an explanation. .. I carefully followed each and every step .. now my audio is very clear thank you it was very useful keep it up

OMG OMG OMG FINALLY!!! I've been dealing with this issue for so long that I simply gave up and have been listening to an audio humm / crumble / computer taking a dump sound approximately every 15 seconds while watching any video or listening to any music file!!!!! THANK YOU!!!! I tried reinstalling drivers like mad and it never frickin worked... THIS SOLUTION DID!!! THANK YOU SO MUCSH!!!! ASOOSOSOSOOOOO MUUUCUUUCCHCHCHCHH!!! You da man my man.

does this work with the laptops too? Because mine crackles really bad. And does that Warning not affect you in the long run?

Great video! A quick and simple fix! Wish I found this video sooner. Thank You so much!! 👍🏾 (I had echo sounds on my speakers)

Thanks so much! I was facing a buzzing sound when I opened Microsoft Edge and this tutorial worked and I hear no buzzing sound. Thanks again!

Thank you so very much. I am currently searching for jobs and learning online and every interview is online, I was scared as hell when my laptop started crackling and thinking of going to laptop repairer you helped me right in time. In the middle of watching this video only the sound was normal. God bless you man. Thanks again

2 Hours of Playing Water Removing Sounds in my speaker with no fix and no hopes left, discovered this video and it helped me fix the problem!! Thanks Tricknology!! :)

Hey I was trying so hard to fix that crackling sound, your video saved me, thank you so much 👍🏼👍🏼

It happened last night. I thought it's a hardware problem and never expected a software issue. But you saved my time and money. Thankyou~~~It worked at the first satage by reinstalling the driver but I did it to the 2nd stage you instructed. Thank you so much.

I still had crackling when using my earphones. Here's my fix: 1 ) Device manager ---> sound video and game controllers: |----> Display Audio (uninstall), |----> High Definition Audio (uninstall) 2 ) Restart laptop

I just bought an HP Envy x360 2 days ago and it began making weird noises this morning and I did everything you said in the video and it still makes some weird low audio scratchy noises. Only in the speakers. The headphone aux works fine. Maybe I got a defective labtop?

Hi, it worked and I thank you! 🤎 But my speaker's volume kinda low after, maybe you have suggestions on how to fix that? Hehehe

Thank you so much this helped me and the crackling sound went away right after i updated the drivers.

Thanks man instantly fixed it for me thanks as the video was easy to view and listen to and it was straight to the point thanks a lot

Thank you Ive been plagued with this for about 2 months nothing worked it was driving me nuts ,every time after yet another attempt I`d thought I`d sorted it only for it to return 2-3 days later . I tried you`re fix about a week ago after having it return previously I thought I`d wait to make sure it worked Im happy to say its still working fine I cant thank you enough ,many thanks .😉😉

After going through with this, my sound quality and audio capacity has dropped significantly. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Its sounds like a tin can.

Thank you. Confirmed working. The crackling is due to Realtek audio drivers.

IT WORKED!! Thanks a lot! I thought the speaker was already broken when I bought it secondhand so I didnt bother to update the driver, but its statring to annoy me lately so I decided to search for what really the problem is, and I found ur video. TYSM ^_^

This helped me so much! Thanks for walking me through the steps, would recommend to anyone with the same problem

Lord knows what happened to my PC since yesterday, but these tips have resolved my confusion and my problem in mere moments! Thank you, Tricknology!

Thanks man! Instantly fixed the issue. On point video! Appreciate it.

Thank a lot, your video helped from laptop crackling sound. I'm worried as the sound was very loud before, whenever I plugin my charger and turn system on, but finally after following the instructions my laptop was normal

Super appreciated! Fixed my issue 100% Thanks a million!

This video has helped me a lot. I just bought boya m1 microphone but the sound was like I wasn't using microphone so I wanted to throw the mic away until I met this video. Thanks man!

I do all of this, yet i still have the same problem

Hi! thanks for your video. It is still presenting problems. First it was one of the speakers so I disabled it, a couple of days later the other started doing the same. I think this helped me to some extent, but it still sounds crispy, especially bass and background sounds

hey thanks for making me hear nothing now everything is mute and quiet!

i have no option for HIGH DEFINITION driver in my pc and i buy new laptop 1-2 days before ... Wht i do ? Where can i download from ?

Thank you so much this helped after trying for hours

I have a Chromebook that does that every so often too. I also have a Windows 10 laptop that'll do that as well, and that's why I'm watching this video (mainly). Thanks for the video Tricknology. 👍

TY bro this really helps me a lot, i was tried of that sound, now its fix :DDDDDD TYYYYYYYYYY ME SUB

ok so I had the same issue BUT a hard restart/reset fixed my issue hold down the power button for 3 seconds or until the screen turns off and the laptop shuts down. Then wait about 2 minutes and restart the laptop should fix the issue if its the same issue I had

Appreciate it brother 👏🏻

just solved a headache problem I have been facing in just a few minutes. Thank you for the video. It really helped me.

TQ a lot....it works for me

Chief thank you so so much for sharing yourknowledge on how to troubleshoot audio problems for PC's. I really really appreciate your help. I just subscribed to your channel. GOD BLESS.

Thank you so much man,worked perfectly!

in my case, this video still doesn't fix my problem, since i think the issue comes from the speaker's bass, as iv'e noticed that the problem only rises when i play bass-heavy music. my solution to this was keeping the "Realtek High Definition Audio" driver in device manager, which gives me the option to turn on "Limited Output" in the speaker's additional settings, which essentially turns down the volume for certain sounds that make the crackling noise, while keeping the original sound volume for everything else.

Only one word LEGEND🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️

Thanks For The Tutorial! I Just Recently Got My Speaker Fixed And I Really Didn't Want To Get My Laptop Sent Away Again

Thank you bro I was thinking someone was hacking thanks a lot 😇😇😇😇😇you are a god

Thank you! After trying absolutely everything to fix my problem I think this has worked!

OMG TY YOU SOOOO MUCH I WAS ABOUT TO CRY

Thanks to your video I already fixed the crackled sound in my laptop
