Static in the speakers and headphones.

I just bought the Pred Helios 300 a few days ago and I'm getting static. I've tried updating the sound drivers and it says they are up to date. Please advise.

Hi,

Please do the sound check in control panel to see if its a hardware or software.

Press and hold windows + R > type control > click on hardware and sound > In sound under playback devices right click on speakers listed and click test.

You can also try uninstalling the audio drivers and restart the computer. If the issue still persist then try power drain Link: https://us.answers.acer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/13677#_ga=2.195642926.368704065.1524490181-2123112745.1523567385

Just get used to it, Acer doesn't care about sound let alone sound quality.
