    I have an acer 8200 and this problem has gotten worse since I got the laptop. If I play sounds and it gets to a certain pitch (high pitched), the left speaker makes a really crappy schreechy sound like high pitch vibrating. If I push down on the left front above the speaker it goes away but its very very annoying.

    Anyone have this same problem? Can I fix it?

    Lol. This may have nothing to do with your problem, but on my 5672 my speakers would squeal if I unmuted my mouse. What Acer did (at least according to the report) was that they updated teh audio driver. I have the audio driver that they gave me,so if possible I can upload that and give it to you. The file name mentions 8204,so it should work for you too. It's about 27MB. I don't know if your problem has anything to do with the audio driver, but there's no harm in trying ;)

    Edit:

    I have the same problem, it just started developing and is on the right speaker. Pressing down stops the rattling. I don't know how to fix it but it is VERY annoying.
