My laptop model is K42F-VX178 that has Intermittent distorting audio sound problem and even playing Audio/Video from youtube or any other movies with audio. At first use of this laptop I noticed this problem but I ignored it coz I think its normal maybe some program running such like antivirus that scans every time. But since then it occurs intermittently so like what I said I ignored it.
But then lately, I noticed its no longer normal coz it occurs every now and then but intermittently when I play mp3 audio sound either in the middle, beginning or ending of the track it occurs once or twice. I also upgraded my RAM from DDR3 1066 2GB to 2 X 2 GB DDR3 1333 so right now that was the new setup. Okay back to the topic...these are things I made testing on the laptop.
From basic to advance test:
Basic.
1. Play audio from different players still no luck still the problem occurs.
2. Update the CODEC from CCCP to Klite Codec full version still no luck still the problem occurs.
3. Play audio from Optical Drive still no luck still the problem occurs
4. Play audio mp3 even using Windows 7 generic driver still no luck still the problem occurs.
Advance
1. Reformat I think more than 5X but still the problem occurs.
2. Reformat from Windows 7 32bit to Windows XP32bit thought its the windows 7 issue still no luck still the problem occurs..
3. Reformat using Windows 7 64bit and currently using this OS but still the problem occurs and its getting worst.
4. Update the Audio Driver to latest still no luck still the problem occurs.
5. Update the latest BIOS model still no luck still the problem occurs.
6. I used DCP Latency Checker it has so many failures during test such like dropouts. still no luck still the problem occurs.
7. Burned test using Seatools all test were passed! still no luck still the problem occurs.
8. RAM memory test one stick at a time still no luck still the problem occurs.
9. Passmark burntest still no luck still the problem occurs.
So many test I made on this laptop but still no luck. I don't want to conclude the HARDWARE but today when I open a software EVEREST Ultimate Edition my system FREEZING TOTALLY as well as the audio sound so I rebooted it coz I can't even press anything on the keyboard to bring it back to windows. I heard so many issues about everest that freezes your computer so I think that's not the main issue but the AUDIO distorted sound.
Please help me I'm stuck with this. Thank you.
