The all-new Razer Blade Stealth 13

Hi all, I received a new Stealth about 48 hours ago and have noticed the speakers are giving off a static type of sound? The sound goes away when I mute the audio and rolling back to an older driver caused it to go away entirely. Thing is, this older driver is clearly not intended for the new Stealth and as a result the sound feels quite... "small"? When are Razer going to release an updated audio driver for this thing? Or where can I get an older driver that will actually utilize the hardware correctly? Thanks

Razer Blade Stealth 2019 Issues

I apologise for the cross-post here but: Have any of you audio issues with the new Stealth? Mine was giving off a static sound which went away when the audio was muted - are there any alternative drivers around for this thing? Thanks

Razer Blade Stealth 2019 Issues

thomaskleeSounds like you are picking up the coil whine through the speakers. If you unplug the laptop and go on battery saving mode with the speakers on, do you notice they go quiet? Plug in again and go on maximum performance noise should come back I'm pretty sure it's just an audio driver issue, I tried an older driver and the sound went away completely. I was just wondering if Razer are going to bother releasing an updated driver for this thing (there's not a single new driver release to address any of the reported issues with this thing).

The all-new Razer Blade Stealth 13

lucpeuI really enjoy my new razer blade stealth 13! There are some issues with speakers crackling and coil whine but both aren´t that loud so that I feel disturbed. And there seem to be ways to fix these issues. (new SSD and Speaker Software) So if you´re not into playing the newest AAA titles this is a very nice laptop for creative work and editing. Keep in mind: You pay the money for size and design Can anyone recommend a case or a sleeve for this laptop? I don´t like the razer version because I´m not into their green logo Would you tell the rest of us where we can get these new SSD and Speaker drivers/softwares?

Why is Razer so hated here? What makes Razer keyboards bad?

In a few sentences? While it may be true that those who've had a negative experience leave reviews, that still means Razer (on average) are producing more negative customer reviews than other companies. Razer's quality control is sketchy at best and non-existent at worst. Saying this as someone who wasted £1500, went through 2 Stealth's over 6 weeks and has finally decided to just refund and be done with this amateurish company.

[UPDATE] Razer Blade 15 ft. Intel 9th Gen processor

If the new Stealth was anything to go by, one has to wonder what litany of defects this thing is gonna have when it launches.

JoikansaiTo me it sounds more hardware issue, and directly RMA. Though, why don’t you bring it to Best Buy? Idk how things going there, but if I buy from reseller I would deal with them. And 15 days warranty, or is it free refund windows? If I passed that period i would send it for repair or replacement till get one that free of that problem. Shill all you want but these things are absolutely riddled with hardware issues and consumers are well within their rights to be pissed off and to demand answers. They shouldn't have to send the thing in for replacement till they "get one that free of that problem". Personally, I went through two faulty units and refunded. I'd advise anyone having trouble to do the same. If you really want a stealth then just hold onto your money until Razer actually grow up and take responsibility for these issues.

Blade Stealth Hobbled by Firmware

Before the shills get here... I personally owned one of these before refunding. I can confirm that under load the CPU *did* hit its claimed speed of 4.6GHz (single-threaded). I'd try not to stress too much till the thing is in your hands and you can test it for yourself.

figrin1Curious why you returned it? I've had it for a couple days now and I'm noticing some really inconsistent performance from the CPU. Firestrike gave it an 11,450 physical score out of the box, but it had terrible coil whine coming from the chassis and the speakers, with the battery discharging during benchmarks. After running windows updates and updating the BIOS and EC, the coil whine went away but the physical scores plummeted to ~9000, sometimes lower. With some undervolting those scores have improved a little bit, but I haven't been able to get them back to what they were before all of the updates that eliminated the coil whine. I'm curious if the BIOS/EC updates solve the coil whine by further limiting the CPU. You've unknowingly answered your own question. :) The coil whine plus speaker crackling was enough for me to return mine. My left fan was also making a strange sound (different in pitch and it sounded as though it was clipping on something). It sounds like you're

Very grateful to you for making the effort OP. Have to say though Razer should be addressing these issues at the manufacturing level, not leaving it for a clearly talented and passionate user to come fix it for them. Regardless, good work and I look forward to reading the rest! :)

For those reading and not posting: this is why you don't engage fanboys - they always move the goalposts. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
