I have an HP Envy Touchsmart IS-j052nr Notebook PC, running Windows 8.1. When I use Skype, either through a headset or through the speakers, I am having problems with static. It sounds clear when I am speaking and when the person on the other end is speaking, but if the person on the other end does not talk for several minutes, then the static noise gets louder and louder (like hearing a huge rainstorm of falling rain) until the other person makes a sound again. The other person can also hear the static.
Is there a new driver I can download to resolve this problem? When I scanned my computer on the support site there were no audio drivers I was missing.
Thanks!
