... much louder/OK on headphone jack on the tablet when disconnected from keyboard. Is there a fix ? I've loaded the latest audio drivers. Also, seems like Beats doesn't "kick in" even though it's checked as ON in the Beats control panel. I can click it on and off and tell a noticeable improvement as if Beats wasn't on at all even though it was checked.
Any ideas ?
I have the same problem...very disappointing sound quality... looks like the whole Beats Audio thing is a gimmick. I mean my $199 Nexus 7 has better sound for crying out loud. I hope they patch this or otherwise I am thinking of returning it for an Android tablet.
Yeah the sound is defective, I have already bitched about it, they seem to not care, I don't think they can do anything about it, it's just designed not to have good sound or even decent sound, the thing is to thin to allow for decent sound, they went for Form over function.
Also i think it uses a low cost horrible chipset, L2s Intel reltek Audio chipset, that would not be able to provide decent sound even in a full sized notebook, but not that I would know they wont tell us anything.
It's a nice Prototype device that needed more work before it was sold, the only thing that lets it down badly is the sound in my Opinion, that and dieing on me just after 30 days of ownership, maybe I can swap it for something that works ????

Have a read
Mine actually pops very loud with headphones plugged into the keyboard, but sounds fine when plugged into the tablet. HP is taking it in for repair, hopefully it's not just a design issue.
I have the same problem of very load pops from headphones plugged into the keyboard . Was HP able to repair it?
Nope, they said they couldn't duplicate the issue. So I took it back to where I bought it and got a refund. Just for [Content Removed] and grins I took a set of headphones to a couple of store's display units and they all did it. I like the machine, but HP needs to get these bugs worked out before I buy another one.
