Speaker Issues

While I was using my laptop, a lot of static noise started coming out of the speakers. I turned Winamp off to see if maybe it was coming out of that, but it still continued. I also tried turning the volume down all the way and muting it too, but the static still kept playing. I tried plugging in headphones and the static wasn't playing through them but when I turned on music, the music would play through the headphones but the static was coming out of the speakers still. I turned off the laptop and it stopped and I decided to leave it alone for a while.

Well now I'm back on my laptop but one of the speakers isn't working and the other one you can barely hear anything out of unless you turn the volume up to max. Also, it's really warm around where the speakers are and I can feel some of the heat where my wrists are as I am typing this. There's also a nasty smell coming out of the speakers so I think something got fried inside. If anybody has some information or any idea about what happened and what I should do, please help me out.

Oh yeah, my laptop is an Inspiron E1505 Core Duo and I'm using SigmaTel Audio. I'm not that computer tech savvy so if there's some other information I might have left out that you need just let me know and I'll look it up.

Thanks.

 

I think the problem is from magnetic interference.I don't think these speakers are magnetically shielded.

 

My laptop did this too. Same model.

The next day, the speakers fried and burned me. It wasn't a fun experience.

 

magnetically unshielded speakers can cause horrific troubles! Put a magnet near a tube TV for a nice demo LOL.

Seems kind of unrealistic Dell would avoid an obvious thing though?

 

I had the exact same problem with the same E0105 Dell laptop. Not sure hwo to fix this. Need to check if I can get it repaired by Dell or some other service center.
