The right speaker on my tr seems to have blown. when playing speech at near high volume the right speaker sounds like it has blown. ayone else have this problem? i only have it 5 days so it can’t be my fault (the speakers on my last laptop blew, which i admit was my fault)

Just because you have it 5 days doesn’t mean it’s not your fault. You could have it 5 minutes and it could be your fault.

What I suggest is download a speaker test and run it to see what frequencies your getting distortion.

Good luck,
Erik

Wow, that sucks…but Erik might be right. Not all speakers have built-in protection from being overloaded especially small ones that you find in notebooks. It possible that extreme sound sources (at high recording levels) can damage the speakers especially if you’re trying to blast them on the built-in speakers.

So, yes, see if you can test it with any sort of audio software or try different types of audio files to see if you get a pattern of the problem. You may have to send it in for repair if it turns out that it’s damaged. This sort of thing should be covered under the normal warranty.

Did you run a test?
Do you hear the noise with all apps or only certain ones?
Is it the same noise everytime you play the same sound?
