Distortion sounds bad

If the sound is distorted on all sources over both speakers then the speaker amp on motherboard is suspect. To eliminate bad laptop speaker possibility, try hooking up another audio source to the audio output of the laptop and hear what happens. If they also sound bad then the mo bo is definitely the culprit.

It is very possible that a speaker is bad. If you have the connections, try connecting external speakers to the TV to see if it still has the distortion. If so, then the audio output on the TV is bad.

Maybe your speakers are bad. How does it sound when you play a music cd or when you watch a music video on Youtube.com?

What is the OS u are using?

First thing to try is updating your sound driver.

Visit Acer's support page, find your model, download the software, install. test.

Let me know what happens.

You have a bad HDMI Cable.

somekind of hardware side failure or bad drivers.
I hear sounds from my audio output if i connect my headphones there directly but when I connect it to my speaker system they filter the distortion.

Sounds like you have a bad speaker or where the mounts for the speaker are broke.

Do you have the unit in Turntable mode? Can you describe the distorted sound? Is it a hum, sound cuts in/out, scratchy sound? There have been alot of issues which plagued this unit. We get at least 1-2 a week in here for various issues. Although, I've never had one with distorted sound, that wasn't caused by something else (bad RCA cables, faulty mixer line, etc).

So make sure it is the unit. If so, you will need to take this in to a qualified service center for repair as determining the issue requires the tech run some test on the unit.
