    I just received my new vostro 1500. At first bootup right away I notice the left speaker has a raspy, rattling sound. The right speaker sounds normal. Has anyone else had any problems with the speakers? Do you think if I contact Dell that they can send me one to change myself?

    Got my laptop yesterday, no problems with my speakers during bootup. I recommend contacting Dell for replacements.

    I have a similar problem with my speakers (more on the left than the right) and it's quite annoying. I would rather not have to ship my laptop to them to get it fixed. I'll probably do it eventually though.

    You have 21 days after purchase to exchange the laptop for a brand new one for free, according to the Vostro/Inspiron return policy.

    I experienced the same problem with mine that I received last week. Needless to say, I was quite mad. They gave me the option to send it back but since I got the nice LG screen I opted for a technician to come fix it. He replaced the speakers and the mainboard and now all is well.
