Sound distortion When listening to songs the sound is badly distorted. Only just started happening out of the blue.

Possible damp, dry out for a couple of days and try again. If not damp then an electric short in the pads circuit, have a techie look at it.

please follow this steps and fix it. GOD BLESS you

• 1

Turn on all of the devices in your sound system. Turn off any auto-equalizers on your sound system to gain fullest control over frequencies. This switch might be found on the receiver or the equalizer itself.

• 2

Play a test song on repeat. Choose a song with both extremely high and extremely low instruments so that you have a wide frequency range to listen for.

• 
  
• 3

Listen for any obvious distortions in the highs and lows of the songs. Lower the knob on your equalizer for any distorted frequencies until the distortion disappears. Try at first to find the highest setting possible without distortion.

• 4

Adjust all frequency ranges in relation to each other to find a pleasing blend for your room, trying not to let any one frequency range dominate the others. Use the highest non-distorting settings found in Step 3 as maximum settings, but don't be afraid to lower a booming bass or a screeching flute that disrupts the overall blend of the music.

Play a song from a different genre to test how the EQ works for different types of music. A hip hop song will have louder lows than a string quartet, for example, so make sure your bass frequencies sound crisp on both types of music.

Well it sounds like you need a mono block amplifier for the subwoofers. Subwoofers are ment for low frequency. If you try to run regular audio through the subwoofer the sound will become distorted at a high volume. If you have a crossover on the amplifier try putting it on LP. Also do not exceed the RMX rateing on the subwoofer because if you do they will also distort. If you try adding the mono block on to it and it is still doing it you may also be running to much power to the subwoofers.

what bit rate are your songs the best quality is 320 but anywhere from 128-196 is good

I have the exact same problem with my acer aspire one. Just recently is started distorting with a mechanical sound...skipping on the videos and making it impossible to actually listen to anything or watch any videos. I thought it might just be an isolated problem until i noticed it happening during startup, etc. I have not found a solution yet but am updating the audio driver. Let me know if you resolved this issue! Thanks!

Distorted sound on a MP3 player is usually caused by one of the following:

- Volume is set on to high
- Battery is going flat or does not hold enough chargeL: test by playing song while connected to an external PC power source/USB charger.
- Your Earphones/Headset has been damaged due to abuse (player songs too loud in general for an extended period) or too loud from another/PC source) - To test, try it on another music player or PC.
- Your unit is really faulty or you have a bad plug connection: to test, try jiggling the plug while listening to a song.

speaker is getting faulty change it

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.

please check sound using external speaker.
if the result is same as using internal speaker, it's mean your mainboard may have problem, but try to install sound driver first.
if the result is different, you may have some loose screews inside your laptop and it stuck on internal speaker.
if you still have warranty, send it to acer.

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