Acer Aspire speakers blown

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
I've had my Acer Aspire 4530 laptop for almost a year and was getting really good sound out of it. I would listen to all sorts of music at about 25% volume, occasionally cranking it up to 80% and rarely 100%. I was listening to some NPR podcasts (which are really quiet) and had to crank the volume up fairly loud just to hear what they were saying. Unfortunately, the sound sort of garbled for a few seconds before cutting out completely. Now I can't get any sounds out of the speakers no matter what volume setting I try on. I've tried restarting it, turning it off, letting it sit over night, so I'm guessing this is going to be more than a quick fix.

Is there a simple way to replace or repair the laptop speakers? Or will my best option be to just plug in some external ones?

Thanks

Try first to un-install and re-install the audio device/driver.

I can still listen to sound through the headphones jack. I tried reinstalling the audio driver but to no effect.

It does not sound good. Review the audio settings again (from system try and in control panel).

Replacing notebook speakers are not hard but can be time consuming.

Are there any manuals out there to assist me with this? I'd rather not take it to a shop and have some guy do it for half the price of my laptop.

Take a look at the sticky in this section for disassembly. Good lucks and take some pics to share.
