Blown Speakers on 1520?

Just today, I recieved my Inspiron 1520 and thus far I've been extremely happy with it. I even got the nice LG WXGA+ display! However, i'm having a serious audio problem. Every sound that comes out of the speaker is faint and VERY distorted. Ive updated the drivers (sigmatel hi-def) and checked all volume settings but still nothing has fixed the problem. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Am i missing a simple setting in Vista? Thanks!

 

my vostro kinda like rattles the left of my laptop and sounds like crap at high volumes too, sounds like plastic

 

Ok, I'm fricking pissed! Just got off the phone with them and they determind that they need to replace my mainboard and speakers! Wow, what a joke. Hey Dell, how about some quality control!!!!??? They gave me the option of sending the laptop back but heck, since I got the good LG, I'm not taking the chance of sending this back and getting back a junk display. Needless to say, I am very very upset. Why send out junk? Dell is crap! Oh, and I spent extra on the completecare warrenty. its sposed to be next day repair, but they said not to expect the technician out her for 3-5 days. Wow! Spend $1400 on a laptop and u recieve junk. Way to go Dell!!!

 

LOL.. BOO HOO YOU GOT A LEMON WAHHHH...

Find another vendor that does quality control to each computer before shipped, especially when they send thousands of systems out the door on a daily basis. Hah - wait never mind you can't, because no vendor does.

It's amusing, you go from "very happy, and nice display" - to - "dell sucks, what a piece of junk" - over a defect. What do you do when you buy stuff from a retail store and it's defected? Go to the store and throw everything at the employees because you're upset?

When you're dealing with electronics, there is always a margin for defects, chill out and deal with it, not vent an entire company blows and they are screw ups because you received a lemon.

And a side note, they do have quality control, theres just no way a diagnostic machine can determine of a computer sounds bad or the screen looks bad or if it looks bad. They plug it in, if the machine says 'A O.K', it's off to packaging.

 

woah chill man. things happen, who knows maybe nothing is wrong and you just messed up the driver?

 

I think Dell has contributed greatly to the recent migration to Macbooks and Macbook Pros...

I can definitely understand this guy's frustration. If Michael Dell wants his market share back from HP, hes going to have to rethink some of his operating and QC procedures.

 

LMFAO.. Actually, I think the whole, virus/spyware thing, is what contributed to the Mac migration. Everyone that I know that has switched to Mac says "theres no viruses" and then that's when they shut up. I look forward to when Mac becomes large just like Windows has, then it'll be the target, and all it's ****y user base is caught with they're pants down.

I do agree, with the QC comment, but not just on Dells part, I'm thinking pretty much every company under the sun, because all I hear about is peoples computers circling the drains..lol


Yup, let's all get a Mac..



All so true..lmfao..
