Hello everyone!
I have an Acer Aspire 792g. For some time now, the bottom left speaker (the one underneath the laptop) starts making a quiet buzzing noise after I've been using the laptop for some time, even when the speakers aren't used, as in when the sound is muted, or I'm using the headphones. Interestingly enough, it seems that the warmer it is in the room, the sooner the buzzing will start, it can be anything between 10 minutes of watching youtube, up to 2 hours of playing video games, but eventually, it always starts. However, the bigger problem is the loud crackling noise that comes after some minutes of the buzzing going on. That noise is really loud, but always suddenly stops several seconds after I shut down whatever I've been presently using, be it Chrome or a video game, or any software. And the source is rather clear, the noise is definitely coming from the place where that speaker is. But for the record, I'll add that the laptop's cooling system has been inspected and cleaned, the fans are in excellent condition, and the temperatures are within range so it's not that for sure.
What could be the cause of the speaker making that noise? And more importantly, does anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of it? Franky, I don't need that speaker, I don't really need the speakers at all, because I'm almost exclusively using headphones. But I don't feel very comfortable opening the laptop myself. Maybe if the buzzing is related to the power supply to the speaker (as it kind of sounds electrical), then there is some kind of way to disable it remotely? Alternatively, would somehow unplugging the speaker work?
I'll be very grateful for any input!
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!
