    Hey everyone, Love my GT73VR 7820HK and 1070, but it has a constant static/distortion sound in the background! It's pretty low pitched, but when wearing headphones it is very annoying when I'm not playing music.

    Things I've done:

    Uninstalled both realtek and nahimic/drivers too, reinstalled.
    Used current download link from MSI for current drivers too.
    Unchecked fast startup in Windows (this helped some people, but not me!)
    disable nvidia HD audio
    unistall nahimic, still there-reinstall-still there
    checked for "sound enhancements" etc. in playback devices to disable but wasn't an option
    Checked sound both plugged in and on battery- its always there

    Don't know what to do!

    Anyone know where I can find a sound card for it? Any other ideas? Don't want to send this in, as I already cracked it open to upgrade ram and storage ;)

    Thanks so much!
