I RIGHT click on it and choose "Disable Device". As soon as I do that, NO MORE POPPING SOUNDS. However, the audio is not quite as rich (it's good sound, but not as good as when it is enabled--but the popping sound just drives me nuts).
In the past I have always used the generic HD graphics drivers from Intel (since they are updated much more frequently than the HP drivers)---turns out that's not a good idea with this computer. I followed their directions and the pop sound is completely gone.
In case others come here looking for the same info, I'm going to write below step by step what I did.
1. I downloaded both the Intel HD 620 driver from HP (the newest one available) and the latest audio driver from HP (in my case, this is Conexant)
2. Go the Device Manger, RIGHT click on HD 620 under display drivers and choose "uninstall", then in the box that pops up put a check in the box for "delete all drivers for this device". If you get a message that you're about to install drivers older than the current drivers, choose YES/install/OK. When it's finished and it asks to reboot, choose LATER.
3. Still in Device Manager, under System Devices, RIGHT click on Intel Smart Sound Technology (Intel(R( SST) Audio Controller and choose "uninstall", then in the box that pops up put a check in the box for "delete all drivers for this device".
4. When it's finished, reboot the computer.
5. Install the HD 620 driver that was downloaded from HP--reboot when asked.
6. Install the Conexant audio driver from HP--reboot when asked.
Hey guys,
so after browsing every article on DuckDuckGo, all my hopes disappeared. So, I'm posting here.
I've recently moved from Manjaro to Arch on my Acer Aspire 5 laptop, and the only issue I'm facing right now, is not working laptop speakers/headphones jack (other audio inputs/outputs are working, even the integrated laptop mic). When I tried speaker-test before installing PulseAudio/PipeWire, sound was working. Unfortunatelly, now it does not work. Attaching:
Now the speakers do work, but I have for some reason 15 sound outputs, all labeled "Built-in Audio Pro XX" (where XX is some number). I've read that the snd-hda-intel option "model" could fix that, but I wasn't able to find any kind of model list anywhere on the internet. Does anyone know where I could find one? I have an Acer Aspire A515-56.
Intel Smart Sound Technology (Intel SST) is an integrated audio digital signal processor (DSP) built to handle audio, sound, voice, as well as speech interactions. It enables the latest Intel Core and Intel Atom processor-based computers to respond to your voice command quickly and provides high fidelity audio without impacting OS performance and battery life.
I had the exact same problem in windows 10, my Haylou GT1 pro Headphones were only working as hands-free and the music sounded awful. I tried all solutions posted above and nothing worked. However, I was testing a new audio app and it wasn't recognizing my mic, it was telling me that it was already in use, the only app that always uses the mic is Cortana, so I removed the permission for the microphone from cortana and my headphones STARTED to work perfectly.
sadly this is a known bug microsoft refuses to fix when it comes to bluetooth devicesthe only acceptable solution I have found to when I turn my headphones off for the night and go to use them again is to simply toggle off the bluetooth connectivity on windows ENTIRELY then turn it back on when the headset connects in "connected voice" rather than "connected voice, music" despite me having the default audio device set to avoid the "hands free" mode ENTIRELYit is a known issue purely with windows that bluetooth audio is unreliable and buggy yet the company refuses to debug itmaybe buy one of those little boxes that takes the 3.5mm jack and connects your headphones to it in "media" mode and never bugs outalso if you are like me maybe complain about this known issue to Microsoft that mac-os and linux and all mobile os'es have fixed since day 1 of full release versions
Downgrading drivers also didn't do the trick for me.I fixed it by installing for the faulty playback device. Afterwards not only the bluetooth device but also the playback device appeared as connected and I am now able to play audio via the Bluetooth speaker. In short this works because Equalizer APO interacts with the speaker on a lower system level and bypasses some parts of the Bluetooth- and audiostack.
If you're having problems with the Intel Smart Sound Technology audio driver on Windows, you can try replacing your sound drivers with the High Definition Audio Controller driver. Here's how to do it:
Firstly, I would like to thank you in advance for taking time out of your day to read my post. My issue, as described in the title, is that I get a constant crackling sound during audio playback on a fresh install of Fedora Workstation on my Laptop. However, when switching from Pipewire to Pulseaudio, I experience no audio crackling.
