    Hi all,

    I'm getting an odd vibration/rattle from somewhere around the secondary hard drive bay whenever I've got something basey going at close to full volume. Can people try playing stuff at 100% volume with (roughly) the following settings?

    WaveMAxx: Bass 55, Volume. (All others disabled)
    EQ: 1, 0, -1, 2, 0, -2, -1, -2, 1, 3.

    I've already sent in for a replacement. I'd just like to know if it's an issue with my speakers specifically, or a hardware limitation (which would be a pretty big, disappointing one, if it were, to be honest).

    Thanks all.

    You can not use this laptop at max volume. I've said this in my review.
