    Anyone else using their laptop speakers notice the sound being a little muffled almost sounds like there is vibration distortion , as my speakers sound like ****. I am just listening to a talk show and their voice sounds like the case vibrating is distorting the sound. Vibration, speaker blown who knows its just terrible when u turn it up past 1/3.

    It might be the speaker. Does it sound good with external ones?

    Sounds awesome with externals but the internals sound like everyone is talking or singing into a empty paper cup, its muffled sounding.

    Any difference when running on battery only? If so, check ground loop and adapter. Might also want to verify equalizer settings, both in driver and application, one of them could inadvertently be set on ' Live' or the like.
