If not, probably a software issue.Īlso, since you appear to not get problems AFTER boot it would be difficult to diagnose (if software) though one potential fix if W10 is to do an "in-place Upgrade" which may fix any issues.ġ. If you get crackling booting Linux it's probably a hardware issue. sometimes it's F2, or POWER+F2 or other on starting boot). You could get a Linux Distro such as Ubuntu and put on a USB stick then boot from that (may need to figure out how to go into the BIOS to affect boot order. Hard to tell if it's hardware or software.ĭoes this sound occur BEFORE or AFTER Windows starts to load? *it's probably like taking the connector for desktop speakers from the back of the computer and randomly running it over some voltage sources so it amplifies these random voltage "noises". after further thought I suspect that won't help since the sound is probably random noise that the speakers are playing due to poor audio isolation from the system power, so I don't think you can MUTE the laptop speakers in this sense. If you do that and no longer get that sound then the issue is close to the laptop speakers. Rather hard to troubleshoot except perhaps to attach DESKTOP SPEAKERS to the headphone jack.

It must be a hardware issue since again it's before you even load the Operating System thus it's not a software issue. If it happens BEFORE Windows starts then Safe Mode shouldn't matter since any changes to how Windows loads programs doesn't matter is completely after the fact. I feel like this occurs only after my laptop has been turned off for a long time? Thank you for replying! So I tried doing a Safe Mode boot (restart and shutting down completely and turning back on) and there was no crackling noises. I'd start with my LAST point first (Safe Mode, minimal).
