    Ever since yesterday, whenever I have the volume on 100 (or close to it), I'll get static with some games, songs, videos, etc. I tried updating drivers and turning it off for a while, but with my limited tech knowledge, I didn't know what else to do.

    Would be awesome if anyone knew how to fix this.

    I never had my speakers on 100% O_O, don't think the speakers were made to go that loud, (I'd expect static...) time to go external?

    I thought about modding mine to stick some better speakers in there, when I had them out before they just felt cheap. Really, really cheap. If I can find a set that are around the same dimensions I may attempt to mount them inside the comp. We'll see how that turns out.
