So, obviously, not a noob. I'm the one that usually, among others, helps everybody else fix their problems but I'm at a loss with this one.
This is an older laptop. BIOS is the most recent. Drivers are the the only ones available for Windows 10. Model is Lenovo G570 4334.
The problem is, sound "surges" up and down anytime the volume is higher than 30% and probably it does it all the time but isn't as noticeable at low volume. I've tried just about every kind of configuration using the onboard audio and also a Soundblaster Live 5.1 USB device and the result is exactly the same.
I have disable microphones in all playback configurations and all other unnecessary garbage. Same.
It's not a huge problem, but it really annoys me. Any knowledgeable ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance
It's probably worth noting, in 30+ years I've never encountered any "surging" audio, even on much older systems, and certainly on this Sandy bridge laptop before, so...
