[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1593459, member: 56379"] Thanks for the info.:) As you probably know with speakers. When the volume is too loud…or the audio quality of something is not the greatest (bad recording or recorded at a very high level)…the speakers can "blow" (crack the cone). Any possibility that this could have happened? If you haven't been listening to anything loud…it really shouldn't be due to anything physical…which leaves software. Did you install any apps just before this happened? The easiest way to test if it's a software issue…is boot the computer from an external hard drive with a fresh install of a compatible OS. - If the problem goes away when booting from the external HD…then the problem is software/OS related on the internal HD. - The problem remains after booting from the external HD…then the problem is most likely hardware (aka busted speaker). * Nick [/QUOTE]
