Hello!

I've gotten the Inspiron i7559 with 1TB HDD a few days ago and everything has been phenomenal except for the speakers, which make a tiny high pitched staticy popping sound whenever I launch some applications like Hearthstone and Skype, as well as some videos on youtube. I've noticed on startup there's a low static noise and on when I run programs that uses the speakers like Hearthstone there's the high pitches speaker popping then a low static noise.

I've reinstalled the drivers, used a latency test on them that didn't bring up anything too serious, and tested it out using different programs but the problem still persists. I'm not sure if it's a hardware or software problem, can someone help?

Hey,

Are the speakers connecting via the two pink and green cables or by USB?

It's most likely interference with the cable touching the socket. Could be either a motherboard issue or that your speakers are the issue. Try plugging in some headphones for example and tell me if you have the same problem.
