    I just noticed the right speaker can only produce all the higher frequencies, but sounds like it has a bit more volume than the left one.. left one on the other hand might have a bit too much low tones, not sure. Is the right speaker broken or is this normal on U31/P31-models?

    Example video: YouTube - Altec Lansing speakers (bug) on Asus P31F 13.3" laptop
    (@ 0:03 I change the balance from the left to the right speaker)

    When balanced, it doesn't sound too weird...

    Let's hope the store where I bought it (who are known to send you to the manufacturer) will just supply me with a new one... still 9 in stock there..

    They should, because it's DOA.
    Let's hope they return it to Asus and don't just ship it to me, when I order one :p
