Laptop Audio/Hardware/Static Issues

[LJay24]

The laptop I currently have and use is the Dell Inspiron 15 7559 (2 yrs of use). Lately, I've been getting this weird problem where my earbuds (or speakers) disconnect and then reconnects with a bunch of static and hissing with distorted audio. When this happens, my ethernet connection dies and I can't do anything until the internet "reconnects". Sometimes, videos start slowing down and sound horrible, and I have no clue what to do about it. I tried reinstalling realtek drivers, but it just keeps happening. It usually solves itself after a restart. Sometimes it still does it so I wait 5 minutes to an hr after shutting it down. Even while muting, i hear the sound of hissing or how old 20th century tv's sound if you change a channel to one that doesn't exist.

It happened before I reinstalled windows and it's still happening afterwards, so idk if it's a hardware issue, interferance, etc. By the way, this has been happening a lot recently. 

 

I don't exactly know how to explain this problem and of course the internet doesn't even help, so If anyone can please help, I would very much appreciate it. I can give more info if needed.

(My earbuds work on things other than my laptop)

 

(I'm very sorry if this is the wrong place to put this, but I'm desperate at this point.)

sounds like a flat out hardware problem if the both your sound and network connections stop working

try pulling out the battery and see if that helps

It just disconnected a few seconds ago, I plugged them back in and i still hear static, even when it says there's nothing plugged in.

I'll be honest with you. Dell laptops are known for lots of audio related issues. I work for a retailer that returns lots of Dell laptops because of audio issues. Even my own dell laptop that I owned and return after about 2 days of use for the same issue. I had hissing sounds/pops and delayed audio issues.

 

It'll be to do with bad shielding on the board where the audio chip is located.
