Left speaker blown

From initial startup, the left speaker (only) has a rattle like it's being overdriven, but it's only at half volume. Every music source including internet radio, mp3 music, and Windows startup sound. No problem from right speaker at any volume. Arrived at NCIX on Jan 7th. Anyone else have this issue? Thoughts?

Thanks,

probably a bad speaker does it sound ok through the headphone port connect some headphones and see if the sound is good.

if the sound works fine with headphones you probably have a bad speaker
or they glued the speaker in with some plastic peaces or a screw

getting it fix is probably more hassle then it's worth

mine are fine got my acer at ncix as well

it died after 2 months black screen

acer replaced the mother board and updated the bios and it's working good again so far hope it don't die again

 

Alot of us have no left-channel audio at all. I wonder if this is related?

Huh? This one isn't about a dead left-channel speaker.

Edit: OIC. You're just pointing out that thte possibly-related threads have been merged, not this one.

 

Yeh the problem in this thread is slightly different, so it's been left in place. The other threads were gathered from all over and merged into a sticky. Just seemed all too coincidental that so many people were / are having problems with the left channel right out of the box.

 

FWIW, when I swapped channels and localized the "dead channel" to the speaker itself, it did sound more distorted at lower volumes than before. This is referring to the left channel coming out of the right speaker, so it implies something wrong with the source which, despite localizing the dead channel to the left speaker itself, may be responsible for somehow "killing" the left speaker in the first place.
