What I think happened, is there a capacitor that helps keep a steady voltage to the audio output, The capacitor may have gone bad or isnt holding a charge.

Ok this is a weird find. It seems to only do it with music that has vocals in the music. Im playing some music on full volume that doesn't contain vocals and there is no problem. I am going to assume that vocals would require more power?

This is a common and reported problem on most HP laptops with Beats audio. the problem stems from the software's "enhancements" causing large volume corrections.
There is a large forum community already discussing this. You might find the info in this thread very handy.
