: DELL INSPIRON 15 3525 CRACKS OR POP SOUNDS ISSUE?
Hello! I own a DELL INSPIRON 15 3525 laptop, and occasionally when playing games or streaming music, I notice the sound cracking or popping for a brief moment. I've also installed the newest audio driver from the official DELL website. Testing the latency sound with LatencyMon confirms this issue. I've updated or upgraded my network driver but haven't resolved it. Any suggestions to fix this problem? Thanks! PS: More details about LatencyMon are available in the photos.
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
It looks like you're on the most recent BISO version for your laptop. Attempt to use DDU to eliminate all GPU drivers (Intel, Nvidia and AMD) from your system, then reinstall manually using the newest drivers available from AMD's support site.
You can also carry out the same audio uninstallation with DDU and then reinstall via an elevated command, such as right-clicking the installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
Updated: I attempted to reinstall all drivers—audio, network, and chipset—and the issue persisted (I tried uninstalling DDU and even used integrated graphics drivers). Even after reinstalling Windows and installing drivers manually (without using updates), the problem remains. Anyone have another solution? PS: I downloaded drivers from the DELL website without any issues, even using third-party installers.
