    Hello I understand that you’ve already tried several troubleshooting steps, including running the audio troubleshooter, uninstalling and reinstalling the device via the device manager, checking the event log, and reinstalling the driver from the manufacturer’s website. Here are a few more suggestions that might help:   Update BIOS & Audio drivers: Have you attempted to update the BIOS & Audio drivers? If not, you can find and install the same from the HP Support website.   Check with headphones or external speakers: Does this static sound appear on headphones or external speakers as well? If not, it might be an issue with the laptop’s built-in speakers.   Disable All Sound Enhancements: Go to your Control Panel. Select the “Sound” tab. Go to “Speakers,” and then select “Properties.” Next, click on “Enhancements” or “Effects.” Click on the option to “Disable All Sound Enhancements.” Click “Apply.” Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.   Uninstall and Reinstall Sound Card and Drivers: Uninstall the sound card and all related drivers. Play an audio sound to test the speakers. Install the latest update of the suggested drivers. Reboot the laptop.   If none of these steps work, it’s possible that there might be a hardware issue with your speakers. In that case, you might want to contact HP support or a local technician for further assistance.
