I've just noticed out of the blue my Alienware m15x right speaker is not working, my left speaker is fine but the right one doesn't produce any sound. Though if I hold my hand around the right corner of the AW the sound comes back leading me to believe my right speaker is loose.
I was thinking about taking off the back of the AW & having a look tomorror but while broswing pictures off the AW's insides ( http://4help.alienware.com/cgi-bin/...2VhcmNoX3RleHQ9bTE1eCBvcGVu&p_li=&p_topview=1 ) I can't seem to work out where the speaker is, is it underneath the graphics card?
I'll probably also reseat the built-in speakers cable too just in case, don't worry I've reseated the AW keyboard cable before.
And yes I've made sure it isn't a software issue, made sure everything is working in the sound settings, tested it with headphones (work perfectly), & hooked it up to my personnel speakers without a hitch. And remember the sound comes back on whenever I hold the right corner of AW meaning the right speaker must be loose?
And anybody removed or reconnected the speaker(s) before?
-
it may well be that the speaker is underneath the GPU. you could therefore remove the GPU heatsink, the GPU itself (it's slot-mounted, no soldering, if i remember correctly) and have a look at the speaker.
no guarantees though. -
Mine arrived from the factory like that... They replaced the case in the end I think.
My right speaker in my m15x is loose?
