    Hey guys!

    I'm having an issue with my 1530. Over the last few days, I've noticed that when I do anything with my processor (yeah, pretty much everything) that my speakers will "pop". I normally have my laptop stationary, and hooked up to a pair of external Logitechs. At first, I thought it had to do with the speakers, but after disconnecting and continuing to get the noise, I've ruled that out.

    For normal music listening, its barely noticeable, if at all. However, I've started producing music more frequently, and it's horribly apparent during FL Studio sessions, as well as when I'm gaming.

    What could be causing this? Is there a fix I can apply on my own? I've got nearly 2 years left on my warranty+accidental, so I'm covered, but this is my main computer, and I'd hate to lose it while it's being repaired.

    Thanks for any insight.

    Try reinstalling the audio drivers first
