Dell XPS 13 9370 Speaker Popping

I just experienced the same issue with my 9370. I had this problem last year when I owned a 9360 for a brief period. Pity that it's happening with this version as well. I am interested in finding out more about this issue.

I just got my XPS 9370 a couple of days and I'm experiencing the same issues. I've tried almost everything I could find online, like updating bios, reinstalling windows 10 and drivers... Have you found a solution yet? Thanks!

I came across this thread on Reddit, I have not tried the workaround yet.

My first 9370 had the speaker issue. I'm currently on my second 9370 which also has the issue. 

Update:

Now on my THIRD XPS, still has the popping sound. 

Had four of them. All had Quality Problems (misaligned trackpad, Keyboard, power button; Killer WiFi not connecting after Sleep, popping Speakers).

The Speaker Problem seems to be a Energy-feature. The Amp Wakes up when there is a "Sound" in the browser etc... even the Speakers are turned to silent.

You can install an older Version of the realtek-software. It will not turn off the amp. Resulting in a constant low volume hiss…. your choice! I would just return it over and over or Forget About it.

Yep, I'm also getting this. Add it to the ever expanding list of problems I've experienced with this laptop. What is going on with Dell's QC department?

Sorry to have to bump an old thread, but is there any acknowledgement of this issue from Dell yet? It's driving me nuts!

Or has anyone found a reasonable workaround?

Still having the problem on my 9560. No luck with the reddit workaround either. Nice to see that Dell is working on this...

Looks like I'll be going back to Lenovo for my next laptop...

Try the latest wifi driver..

I had some sound issues when wifi is on and also the wifi was a bit slow.  Latest driver fixed it up.

I am experiencing the same issue on the same model. Is DELL working on this?

a tech came out to fix mine. he found a loose screw just hanging out in the speaker well. after replacing the mobo and speakers, and removing the screw it went away. however, now the right side is slightly weaker than the left in producing sound. another work order is in to fix that. 

I found a solution

open the advantage option of the speakers and uncheck the other types of sound. It's all

Hi zwlar,

There is an updated driver available.  Have you tried that yet?

Yep the newest driver does it too (Version 6.0.1.8555, A12)

Fixed ours by uninstalling the driver (click 'uninstall driver' too) reboot and windows (10) puts a default 'high definition audio device' driver from 2016 on (10.0.14393.0).

Hopefully it'll stick.

These laptops have been nothing but a pain in the **bleep**, the thunderbolt docks too, and whatever you do don't get a touch screen version!
