    I'm just wondering if anyone has turned there volume up all the way on this little speaker. I'm afraid to listen to it loud at all in fear of it blowing and having a muffly speaker for the rest of the life of laptop. If it does blow is the speaker easy to replace? Mabe with a better one?


    So has anyone pushed the limits of this little guy?

    If it "blew" and you're under warranty then you could get it repaired. A manufacturer shouldn't allow a system to raise volume so much it destroys the speaker.

    Having said that, since the speaker is on the bottom and muffled anyway, I don't know that it could get much worse, lol.

    I get the same feeling as you, it sounds as if it could break if pushing it too hard but I guess that feeling is just because of the bad sound-quality.

    I have pushed it to the max a couple of times though and I haven't heard any degradation in sound-quality. Haven't used it for long periods though since it doesn't really sound that great on the highest volume setting :p

    Ya well I agree it sounds like ****, but I work in a loud place so I'd like to turn it up to be able to really hear my movies. I think I'll just stick to the headphones
