    Volume Swings During Songs with Beats Audio


    Title says it all while listening to music the volume constantly swings in and out. This is a commin problem among the hp laptops with beats audio. I have the most updated audio driver out at the moment. Ive tried what they have posted and for some i dont have the options for. Just looking for possiable fixes from people who actually know what they are doing.
    I have 2 audio drivers according to device manager
    AMD HD audio device
    and
    IDT HD audio CODEC

    Do you have the volume turned way up? If you do this could be because an under powered audio card.

    Is this a new laptop? If so I would contact HP support as it may be a hardware issue,

    You can also try the latest drivers from the hp website.

    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.
