X305-Q701 Speakers problem ( replacement possible?)

Ok...I have a question about the speakers on the X305. I am going to Australia in two weeks time to start college and I just want to know whether it's possible to repair/replace the speakers in my X305, as I think I may have accidentally busted them. There are some cackling or static-like sounds when playing music. I don't live in the States, which is where I bought my laptop. I am hoping someone could call and ask them whether it's possible to replace the speakers. If it's possible, can the Toshiba service centers in Australia do it? I hope someone can help me soon. Thanks for any help.

 

1. Have you tried all of your music?
2. Have you tried games or movies?
3. Have turned the volume too high, 90 and up?
4. Check the Realtek HD Audio Manager and adjust those settings, and the Maxx audio settings as well.

 

1) There are songs that don't have them at all...but only recently when I went back and played them again and specifically listened for it, it was there in most songs.
2) There are games that have this if I turn the volume up high, as for movies, I have not watched any on my laptop yet
3) I did turn it up to 95 the first couple times when I got the laptop, but never after that, strange, since the cackling and static sounds only appeared two weeks ago.
4) Yup...nothing's been maxed out.

Thanks for replying my thread. I couldn't believe it when I saw over 50 views and not a single reply...thanks man. I appreciate your help =) hope I can get down to the solution for this...

 

Sure, I am here to help.
And yeah, hopefully you can get this issue resolved.. I do have some crackling but its really on some songs because of the different frequencies, and having the volume up pretty high. Since you're still under warranty I see no reason why Toshiba wouldn't be able to help, especially at a minimal cost.

 

Thanks! Oh..so it's not just me with this problem...hmm...I was wondering about it..since some songs had it and some didn't...then I wondered whether it was the quality of the songs or something. Hmm...Is it possible to replace the speakers though?

 

I believe so, but when you talk about replacing them, do u mean with the same set of speakers?
But finding the speakers i dont think would be possible, really. But it would probably be a hassle replacing them, they probably connect on the motherboard though so u can easily remove them.

 

Well yea...I'm talking about Toshiba replacing them with the Harman Kardon speakers. I am guessing they would have to send it to the factory or something in order to replace them again. Hmm...I wish I could ask Toshiba about it...blah....so much for living in China...haha..

 

Yeah, thats the issue with a lot of people, kind of "importing" computers, or purchasing computers that aren't really supported or serviced in that area.
But I am sure sending it in will not be too much of a burden, except for time and money for shipping.

could be here? u can get all 5 speakers replaced it seems but well over 100 dollars and taking it apart yourself?

if that isnt a option,

just hook up external speakers

I have a set of logitech z-5500's, there awesome computer speakers,love them

 

Hmm..I think it's only my two upper speakers that are blown or something. But the problem is I have no idea how to take apart that red plastic cover over it. I tried and I immediately gave up cuz I was scared i'd crack it.
Well...external speakers aren't an option now since I won't have anywhere to put it..But I've been looking at those for quite some time..

 

You would have to remove alot to get the speakers out and replaced

could go this route if you wanted

Ok, try this disassembly guide, courtesy of Chris, or cq842000.

The speakers actually can be unscrewed, it is like they are in a box. So the replacement should be quite easy.

 

of course there speakers, there about 100 bucks? was just a suggestion, or send it your laptop and wait? or take it apart and do it yourself and new speakers will run you the same if not more ammount? to me ,makes sense just to add your own speakers

I only suggested logitech's cuz i like them and never had problems with any of my sets
