I am having this issue to which, whenever I slightly bend or tap the left and right surfaces by the mouse pad, the audio makes a pop noise and stops working. I then would have to turn off or put my laptop to sleep and the audio would return. However, any considerable pressure on the surfaces on the side of the mouse pad always causes this with always a pop noise. Something must be loose inside, but I don't exactly know how to identify what part is the audio hardware.
As well at times, the laptop detects no audio devices at all and I have to restart the PC. Basically I have to hold my laptop gently for any pressure causes the audio to cut off for both external and jack audio.

Here is a video I found of the internals where someone is replacing the hard disk; this may be useful:
I'm not sure whether or not this is hardware or software issue, since the audio comes back every time I turn my laptop off and back on.
