[SOLVED] Buzzing sound when playing audio

[Yooonjeonghan]

Hi there,

I have troubles with my audio but I don't what the cause might be.
When my laptop is playing sound(video or game) I can sometimes hear buzzing sounds distrupting the audio.
I took a video of what it sounds like:

I can hear the buzzing as well when I have my headphones plugged in.

I think the buzzing started ocurring after some BSODs, which generated mini dump files:

But I'm not sure where the buzzing is coming from.

These are the specs of my laptop:
Windows 10 Home 64-bit
CPU: Intel Core i7 7500U @ 2.70GHz
RAM: 6,00GB Dual-Channel (15-15-15-36)
Motherboard: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. X556UQK (U3E1)
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 620 (ASUStek Computer Inc)
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce 940MX (ASUStek Computer Inc)
ForceWare version: 451.67
SLI Disabled
Storage :119GB Hitachi HFS128G32TND-N210A (SSD)
HDD: 465 GB Toshiba MQ01ABF050(something's not working)
Audio: Realtek High Definition Audio
Laptop model: Asus VivoBook F556UQ-DM1298T

I posted about event log errors in another thread before https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/i-have-a-lot-of-errors-and-warnings-in-event-viewer.3708546/
But I'm not sure if those are related to the buzzing.

I did suggest in this thread you should take laptop to a store, but that was more for those 2 drives of yours that need replacement.

I don't know if thats the ssd/hdd causing the noise or not.

looks like it needs testing

I ran the dump files through the debugger and got the following information: https://jsfiddle.net/dsu5kom0/show This link is for anyone wanting to help. You do not have to view it. It is safe to "run the fiddle" as the page asks.

kernel data inpage error
The Windows 10 error Kernel Data Inpage Error refers to a missing or corrupt page of kernel data in a Windows page file.
page file is on ssd

Unexpected Store Exception - Store mentioned in error is used by virtual memory to track the memory locations of files.
Windows pretends that every program has access to more memory than PC actually has, it keeps track of the virtual memory locations in the store mentioned. The real locations of the files is either RAM or Page file

same errors as before, all suggesting you need a new ssd before it dies and you don't have either hdd or ssd.

the noise could be hard drive, I don't think ssd would make any noise.

did it always have 6gb of ram?

Yeah there was always 6 GB RAM. The weird thing is that the buzzing is a digital sound and not a physical sound. I can hear the buzzing better with my headphones on.

Buzzing in speakers can be a sign of signal interference from the power supply, power source, and perhaps something as innocuous as the particular circuit you are on having interference from something like a light ballast.

There is an item called a 'choke' which is really just a magnet tube hinged so that you can snap it around a cable. If you have easy access to one, sometimes they come with electronics, snap it around your power cord on the computer side of the brick and see if the humming subsides some. You technically could try to put it around a wired headphone line but may not be effective there.
