Thread: Acer laptop sound problem

Oh, and as for the laptop speaker thing? In my rather unexpert opinion, I suspect it might be permanent. All I can say is that you either have something wrong with your amplifiers, in which case you need new speakers, or there's a noise signal traveling down the line, in which case you might have to buy a new sound card or there's a problem with a connection somewhere. It could be EM pickup, but that's pretty unlikely.

It's possible that your cones could be damaged since these probably are not high quality speakers.

So obviously, the first diagnostic you should do is plug in a set of external speakers to you sound card, or use the external sound card on another laptop.

Was there anything weird that happened just prior to this at all that you can remember? Did push your speakers, by any chance, beyond their limits and get an overdriven sound, or do you do you this regularly?

Also, if you have an equalizer, adjust the equalization and see how that affects the noise.
