Hi!
I have a HP Envy touchsmart 15-j078ca running windows 8.1 and recently I noticed my audio has been making static/crackling sounds. As a test, I plugged in my head phones to see if it was a speaker issue or an audio card issue and the audio in my headphones was also making static noises.
Some of my audio programs are telling me it's a sound card issue.
What I have done: I was following advice on another thread that had me uninstall the drivers and reset my bios settings then have my drivers reinstall but I found that after that my audio worked perfectly! .... for about 2 hours then my laptop was dead silent so I recovered it back a few days and the audio was fine again ... for a few hours before it started making staic noises again.
I am not really sure what the issue is here or how I can properly fix it so any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.
