Product: HP Envy 13-ad1xx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I just purchased an HP Envy 13-ad1xx (from Costco): https://m.costco.com/.product.100381392.html

 

I have a 4k external monitor connected through an Insignia brand USB-C to HDMI adapter.

 

I also have my external speakers (2.1) connected to the back of my monitor and am sending my audio through HDMI.

 

The reason for this is because my speakers have a standard 3 ring connector and the laptop has a 4 ring hole (audio out and microphone in). But, the monitor has a 3 ring output connector on the back.

 

I'm getting horrible screen flickering!

The solution was to buy a 4 ring audio splitter to audio out and microphone in cable.

 

By plugging in my speakers to the audio splitter and then directly into the laptop, I have eliminated the screen flickering.
