    well no they arent very good, and you'll have a hell of a time trying to find some new ones. Just use headphones or external speakers

    True they are not all that great but I have not have any "crackling". Yes head phones are the way to go. Still none of the responses answer your question. Best of luck in your search.

    It would not be worth the hastle to upgrade the speakers inside the laptop... Id recommend investing in a good pair of USB speakers... such as a Logitech Audiohub... I got a great deal on it and it works very well

    Get some quality IEMs like Etymotic's or Sure's. It's like having a direct connection to your brain. Can't be beaten.
