I think I got some bad speakers with my V2000Z (no kidding). Anytime when listening to music and the pitch gets low, the speakers sound like they are blown out (which they aren't). I have never had my speakers ever maxed all the way up, so it is impossible for them to be blown out. Does this warrant a repair, I think so, but will HP admit fault? I included two "sample" audio files, <30 sec to keep it legal. One had high-pitched sounds and it is fine, the other has some "bass" and it sounds horrible (lke blown car speakers). Listen for yourself at how awful the speakers sound with low pitch music. http://www.yourfilelink.com/get.php?fid=2012
Though this may not be what you want to hear I'd say you'd be better off with some 3rd Party quality speakers. I highly recommend Logitech's X-230's, a great 2.1 speaker set. They make it in 5.1 as well. A great 2.1 set for <$30 is a great deal by me. Check newegg.com out if you're interested.
I already have external speakers, I don't want to mess with external. I am talking about the internal speakers, any help? Please!
