Hey guys, I was recently trying to solve the problem with low loudspeakers (when watching videos and movies the volume is so **bleep** low, when I set volume to 100% it's like my girlfriend's 25% on low budget HP). I was a little bit playing with drivers (didn't solve the issue with speakers) and came to this problem with headphones: when using High Definition Audio Device driver, I get nice sound but with unbearable crackling mostly in left ear (it has nothing to do with headphones or jack).

When I switch to the other Realtek driver, crackling is gone but so is bass (all enhancements are turned off). I tried downloading official drivers from HP but got only loading screen for 30min. 2 days straight, and non of google troubleshoot manuals worked as well.

Just to clarify that it isn't some mechanical damage, I had the same problem approx. 2 years ago, but unfortunately I forgot the way I solved it eventually.
