Speakers popping on Inspiron i7559

I'm experiencing exactly the same issue! Have you solved this yet?

well I've update the bios to 1.1.7, didn't see any difference.

it is seems that the most sound issues and also video issues at 4k resolution is with google chrome and Firefox, with internet explorer it's working well, but *** why do i need to work just with this browser to get good performance.

and also when i connect it with hdmi to the tv and see some streaming video it's not so smooth, very strange to a computer with this specs.

Are you using your computer unplugged? May be it's switching to power saver mode, so it's not doing as well as it could. Also, may be it is using the i5 integrated graphics adapter instead of the discrete one to pull that 4K video. Make sure you're using the NVidia.

ok well the power is balanced  tried also with plugged and unplugged, and i've try with nvidia settings and it's the same.

it's I7 integrated and not I5.

with internet explorer its working good.

Hi, I've found the solution on Dell website Forum in Portuguese.

The issue comes from Dell Data Vault and Dell Data Vault Wizard in Services.

Go to Services, find these two and disable them.

It is also recomended to disable Dell Support Assit automatic updates until the issue is fixed by Dell.

Dell Data Vault and Dell Data Vault Wizard keep sending information minute by minut causing the
laggy sound while a video/youtube is playing.

Thanks for taking time to post this! I just got a 7559 and there was no sound from the audio jack other than the test sound. Followed your steps and it's working now. Your answer saved me a lot of time searching Google! 

Well i dont have this 2 services because i formated the laptop and didnt install dell services again.and still sometimes there is pop sound.

I did it all. Nothing helps. 

I hear the popping sound especially when I play the "windows feed discovered" sound from the sound menu (Im a win7 fan).

The popping is so awful that my dog bolts out of the room in panic when I play it. and I'm also developing a headache...

BTW I'm using a pretty high-end Bluetooth receiver so the issue is probably not the laptop's speakers or the headphones jack 

What takes dell so long to fix it??

I noticed that there are 2 PCIE slots on the motherboard of the XPS 8900. 192.168.l.l

Hello. This is the Laptop Audio board. Perhaps your information about the XPS 8900 desktop computer would be helpful on the Desktop Audio board also.

Return it immediately, before your 30-days expires! I purchased the same machine in April and have the same problem. I have been dealing with Dell support for 2-months and was told last Friday that  even though they do not know how to resolve the fix the problem, I cannot return the laptop since I purchased it more than 30-days ago.

This is driving me insane. I have this setup just about bearable, updating the audio driver on windows 10 stops the constant static noise, but it does not completely stop the static/popping when initiating audio. The noise I am having trouble with is coming from the subwoofer.

I've tried Ubuntu, windows 7, windows 10, kali, and its present on all. I believe the drivers/ patches are only covering the static noise when speakers are not in use. I am considering returning this also, unless there's a solution within 2 weeks! Such a shame because the performance everywhere else is great.

a solution within 2 weeks

Hello. Are you writing about the Inspiron 7559 model? If so, a summary of ally solutions that have been posted by owners is in the Choppy/Skipping Audio FAQ. If you scroll down, the 7559 section is the first one you come to, after the links.

I am considering returning this also

Smart. If you bought a Dell laptop with an audio issue, you will own the issue after the return period has expired, because Dell will never take ownership of the issue.

I set mine (subwoofer level) about 80/100 with latest realtek drivers, the popping sound haven't return for months.
