I have read numerous issues regard HP computers and sound issues. I recently received this one and have found that the boards are in fact true. Everytime my system gets a spike in Drive 0 access the sound system buzzes. Everytime I get a spike in CPU usuage (only to about 50% btw) it buzzers, stutters, etc. Is this a really poor hardware design by a group of engineers on medicinal weed and if so, how do I return this to HP or is there a "software fix" that should have been installed prior to shipping. I am running Windows 8. This happens constantly even when I am not using other apps. It occurs in all sound apps and I've tried the 4 major ones.
