Laptop Audio

[terrytek]

Help Me,

 

I need to know, is there a way to improve the audio of my laptop? I have an HP Pavilion G7-2017us with an Intel Core i3-2350M CPU. I am tired of hearing crackling noises whenever i play online radio.

 

Kudos,

USB sound card.

[terrytek]

wow that was fast, and where can i get a USB sound card?

[TheSLSAMG]

As Sarcasm said, USB sound card. I'd recommend this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132022

Fiio E10

You could get a USB DAC/amp. The Fiio E10 might be a bit pricey for you and might not be worth it if your headphones aren't very  good.

Also, is the crackling sound only from the online radio or from any sound? It might just be the radio.

[terrytek]

Oh, that seems cool, but I think its too expensive for its size.

[Emperor_Piehead]

I would go for the sound card that @TheSLSAMG posted

Some CPU dies are smaller yet more expensive than that USB Xonar...

No offense, but that sounds like a personal problem. I was just making a joke with the picture.

I know you were making a joke. Besides, while i'm talking about integrated stuff, where can i buy an external video card for my laptop? specs in post 1

Short answer = No!

Long answer = there are solutions available, but are not cost worthy for the performance. 

 

You can convert a spare video card into a external video card, but there's a lot of work involved and sourcing unusual parts. Guide below:

Erm, for gaming? That's not gonna happen unless you have a thunderbolt connection.

[terrytek]

U sure I can't even do it over HDMI?

You can connect monitors via HDMI, but not extra GPUs. You can get USB "video cards" but they wont be very fast, and they definitely wont play any games.

if you are using the speakers on your laptop the no. but if u are using an external setup (headphones and/speakers)   you can buy a fiio e10 and greatly improve ur audio experience assuming you have good speakers and/or headphones

all i use are dell 2.0 speakers (the crappy kind) and just a pair of generic earbuds.
