Hi @Anikett_s,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
Experiencing cracking sounds in your Bluetooth earbuds when connected to your HP 15s laptop can be frustrating, but there are several troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue.
- Update Drivers: Ensure that your laptop's Bluetooth drivers are up to date. You can do this by going to the Device Manager, finding the Bluetooth device, right-clicking it, and selecting "Update driver."
- Check Bluetooth Settings: Make sure that your Bluetooth settings are optimized for audio quality. Sometimes, the default settings may prioritize stability over quality. You can usually find these settings in the Bluetooth options or the audio settings of your laptop.
- Check for Interference: Bluetooth signals can be disrupted by interference from other electronic devices or even physical obstacles. Try moving your laptop and earbuds to a different location to see if the problem persists.
- Reset Bluetooth Connection: Disconnect and reconnect your earbuds to your laptop. Sometimes, simply resetting the Bluetooth connection can resolve connectivity issues.
- Restart Devices: Sometimes, a simple restart of both your laptop and earbuds can fix minor glitches.
- Test with Different Earbuds: If possible, try connecting a different pair of Bluetooth earbuds or headphones to your laptop to see if the issue is specific to your current earbuds or a more general Bluetooth problem.
- Check Battery Levels: Low battery levels in either your laptop or earbuds can sometimes cause connectivity issues. Make sure both devices are sufficiently charged.
- Software Updates: Ensure that your laptop's operating system is up to date, as well as the firmware for your earbuds if updates are available.
- Check for Audio Enhancements: Some audio enhancement features or third-party audio software may conflict with Bluetooth audio. Try disabling any audio enhancements or third-party software temporarily to see if it resolves the issue.
By following these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the cracking sound issue with your Bluetooth earbuds on your HP 15s laptop.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
