Update = User reports that after technician did remote updates, the issue has not reappeared.
Hi, I've noted other Dell users have had similar issues but not seen them related to the "Inspiron 5400 AIO". I have a brand new, out the box this week and I'm noticing popping, crackling and even total distortion on the speakers. On start up the audio is fine at first but throughout the day it deteriorates. I haven't noticed a pattern, it just seems to happen randomly and across all audio media Headphones and my own Bluetooth speakers work fine. I did my own "Realtek Audio" driver uninstall/reinstall and then Dell Tech Support did the same but still the same problem. They also disabled audio enhancements. Dell Tech Support now saying I need to do a full system restore to fix it. Does anyone have any other ideas before I go down that drastic route. I already spent two days loading up all my photos, documents and music files (big library) so I'm reluctant to do a factory reset Any advice is appreciated. It's Windows 11 by the way Thank you
