Sound Cracking/Buzzing

by raptormoonx . Updated 13 years, 10 months ago

I have a laptop with the following specs:

Product Name:HP Pavilion dv6-2157sb
Microprocessor: 2.13GHz Intel Core i3-330M Processor
Microprocessor Cache: 3MB L3 Cache
Memory: 8GB DDR3 System Memory (2 DIMM)
Video Graphics: Intel HD Graphics
Video Memory: Up to 1696MB
Hard Drive: 320GB (7200RPM)
Multimedia Drive: LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD??R/RW with Double Layer Support
Display: 15.6″ Diagonal High-Definition LED HP BrightView Display (1366×768)
Network Card: Integrated 10/100 Ethernet LAN
Wireless Connectivity: 802.11b/g/n WLAN, Bluetooth
Sound: Altec Lansing with SRS Premium Sound

These aren’t all of the specs, but starting on Monday I was playing a game and the sound started buzzing and cracking. It’s happening when I play Flash games. I’m at a loss here as I’m afraid it could be a problem with the hardware (which, if I read right, can only be replaced if the motherboard is replaced; which I don’t have the dexterity to do). I also have the latest version of Flash (11.2.31.144) installed. Help!
