OMEN by HP 15-ax243dx Laptop
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My speakers buzz pretty loudly when sound is playing. its most noticable when I have my Headphones plugged in because sound isn't meant to be playing through my speakers and yet they buzz with any notable sound my computer makes. I just got this laptop TODAY 6/15/17 at bestbuy and this is my first time testing out the sound and other features of this laptop. 

 

Does anyone know why my brand new gaming laptop buzzes?

 

edit:

ive tried updating the sound drivers.

one update was needed but the buzzing still occurs.

yes ive reset my computer!

I agree, what is funny is that support always tries to tell you to download new drivers etc....it is obviously a hardware problem.....my laptop is the same.....i use my hifi for sound anyways....but speakers on HP omen are just horrid. Did they fix it for you? I cant be without my laptop to send it to service though.....that is my problem...
