Hi @Samedha_1,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community

 

I understand you are facing a Cracking sound of speaker issue with your HP pavilion laptop. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

 

Please try the following Troubleshoots steps. 

 

1.    Turn off the Unit.

2.    Disconnect the AC adapter.

3.    Remove any discs from the disc drive.

4.    Remove memory cards from the card reader slot.

5.    Disconnect all nonessential peripheral devices, such as printers, scanners, external hard drives, and USB flash drives.

6.    Disconnect the AC adapter press and hold the power button for approximately 15 seconds.

7.    Reconnect the AC adapter, and then turn on the computer.

 

Step 2

Turn off the unit and please press and hold the Windows key + letter B key and the power button together for 30 seconds after 30 seconds, 1st release the power button but keep holding the Windows key and B key for ten more seconds and then release these two keys If done correctly, you will see the display flashing once. Please attempt it thrice as this step and Restart the unit

 

Step3

 

The unit has to be turned off, Press Win+ V while holding these two keys then Press the Power button, continue to hold all three keys for 30 seconds and then release the Power button first and then release these two keys Please attempt it thrice  and then you may get a Pop-Up CMOS Check and it will restart the unit 

Even if you don't get a Pop-up restart the unit manually after 3 attempts.

Restart the unit 

 

Step#1 Adjust the computer power settings -

1) In the search box, type and open Control Panel.

2) In the Control Panel search field, type power options, and then select Power Options from the list.

3) Click on Change plan settings.

4) Click the drop-down menu, and then select Power Saver.

5) Select Sleep from the list, and then click Sleep after and Hibernate after to open each set.

9) Decrease the amount of time for each setting to reduce unnecessary strain on the fans when the computer is not being used.

10) Click OK to save the changes and then restart the computer.

 

Step#2 Clean the air vents -

Dust and debris can accumulate in and around the air vents over time, obstructing the airflow and causing the fans to work harder than normal to remove the heat.

 

1) Turn off the computer.

2) Remove any objects near the computer.

3) Use a vacuum to remove the dust from the vents underneath and on the sides of the computer.

4) Turn the computer on, and then place it on a hard, level surface, such as a desk or table.

 

Step#3 Increase the efficiency to reduce heat - 

The computer works harder and generates more heat when multiple applications are open at the same time or while playing graphically intense video games.

 

Use the following tips to improve computer efficiency:

  • Change which applications run when Windows starts by using the Startup tab in Task Manager.
  • Close applications when you are done using them.
  • Close the internet browser when you are not using it.
  • Lower the game resolution and decrease the graphics settings if the computer becomes warmer than usual while playing.

 

Step#4 Use Task Manager to identify corrupt processes -

1) Make sure your computer is connected to a network with an active Internet connection.

2) Press Ctrl, Alt, Delete, and then select Start Task Manager or Task Manager.

3) Click More details, if necessary.

4) Click the Processes tab, and then click the CPU column header to sort the processes by CPU load.

5) Use the Internet to research and confirm any suspicious processes that display in the list.

6) Select the suspicious process, and then click End task.
