    Popped my speakers for my Dell XPS L401x. :(

    Does anyone know of where to source spare speakers online? I did send an email to JBL spares department but didn't get a reply.

    Alternatively, if anyone is scrapping their Dell XPS L401x, let me know!

    Are you sure that your speakers are broken and that this is not a driver issue?

    If the speakers indeed are broken, do a google search as these do pop up on sites like ebay or amazon on ocassion.

    - It looks like parts-people.com out of texas have used ones.
    - pchub.com have new ones.
    - impactcomputers.com will have a real impact on your wallet at $100 for the pair

    Really appreciate you help there. I've double checked after reading through the link you provided that it's not a driver issue by stripping things back via Windows device manager, then using the same old stock Dell/Realtek drivers that have always run without a problem. But yeah, speakers are definitely blown, with the right speaker being far more broken than the left. :(

    I'll check out these other links for spare parts. Thanks again.
