The audio crackles intermittently. On YouTube, or my digital audio workstation programs. Every solution has been tried, easily over 100 hours I have put in on researching -- drivers, settings, learning to use Run, and PowerShell, and A LOT more. I've taken the computer to my friend's house to see if it worked there. I've reinstalled everything thrice. I've had the electricity of my home tested. Nothing gets rid of the audio crackling. This makes the computer unusable for audio work, and that's the only function this computer was intended to do. $900 down the drain. I don't have a second purpose for this; it just takes up space in my studio. I will never purchase another HP product of any kind.I missed the window of time to return this because I was too busy trying to fix it.  I saved and saved my money for quite awhile to only have it spent on something that's nonfunctional. I don't understand how a brand new computer's software doesn't work right.
