    My speakers now seem to shake the laptop with certain deep sounds... :\

    Anyone else had/has this issue?

    It seems like maybe something slipped actually because I have only started having this problem recently. I can hear the vibrations with Pidgin message beeps and certain bass tones from Europa Universalis 3 music.

    Furthermore -- I wonder if it's a problem that anyone has had luck in having ASUS fix via warranty?

    Unless you're definitely not comfortable opening the computer up, it seems like a lot of wasted time and effort to ship it off for service if there's just something a little loose or amiss in there. I just had a relatively new G74 open today and was surprised to find the left speaker screw not tightened down at all. Over time, I would imagine that could easily have work its way loose and resulted in the problem you've started to see.

    If you absolutely don't want to open it yourself, that's perfectly understandable. But if you're wiling to give it a try, chances are you could probably fix this speaker problem yourself in an hour or so.
