Okay... I know its an older laptop, but other than this, there's nothing wrong with the lap top. I reinstalled windows xp about 4 months ago, and reinstalled all the drivers accordingly. Then one day last month, i would get static over any audio then after 30 to 40 seconds it would resume normal operation. This happens quite often with a 5 to 10 minute relief in between and ruins any audio experience. This happens even if i use ear phones or connect to large speakers, whether i am playing a game, mp3 or movie. I'm open to thoughts as to what it is and how to solve it.

I would check the main website for hp, and re install the sound driver. I would also check to see if its the cd rom, if your playing it off of a cd sometimes it lags, as well as if you have downloaded it from a p2p, it will lag while other programs are in the backround. I would also then check the wireing of the speakers, headphones ect, or how the motherboard is mounted in, or sound card.

This could be a connection problem from the internal board to the speakers and could be easily set off by doing things such as typing. If you don't wish to go through the trouble or expense, purchase external laptop speakers...good quality ones offer excellent sound output although most make it a little less portable.
Opening a laptop should only be done by a certified tech and preferably by one who has or does work on laptops as there are a number of issues that can result in taking a laptop apart. Check first with HP and determine how the speaker system on your model is connected (where) and they should be able to tell you if this is a problem with these systems or not. You might have to take it to a laptop service center to have the issue looked at and repaired. This does sound like something however that is connector related and not necessarily a big deal...but the cost is in the actual taking apart and putting together of the laptop, probably not in the actual repair itself.
Check the yellow pages for Laptop repair centers to get an idea of what kind of repair bill you might be looking at for this. The external speakers may be the best way to go. Don't try to dismantle this on your own...even the slightest thing such as missing a screw from just the wrong place or having it loose inside can fry the laptop totally.
Good luck

Hi there. It sounds like either something foreign has entered the audio port or something has jiggled loose. The first thing I would recommend is taking a can of compressed air that you can buy from most any electronic shop and attach the straw-like piece to the nozzle. Tilt the laptop where the audio port is facing toward the ground. Give it short bursts and not for too long directly into the audio port. If still no luck, take a flashlight and see if you can find any loose parts inside the audio port. If all looks ok, you may want to have the laptop serviced by a qualified/certified HP rep. I believe there are also USB devices that can allow for audio sound cards if your laptop has one. I googled the laptop and the pictures aren't clear enough to decipher USB ports, but I would have to assume you have at least two on the side or back.
Hope this helps,
