[SOLVED] New speakers sound as bad as previous (bad) speakers

[ImWolf]

Dell Precision M6400

Finally replaced the speaker board on my Dell laptop, but there's no noticeable improvement. The old speakers had obvious damage to the diaphragms, so I was sure this is why they sounded so terrible.

As before though, (after changing out the speaker board), a blue tooth speaker and connected headset sound very good, but the new speakers sound awful.

So my Q is, do you folks believe I was sold a faulty replacement part, or might there be an issue with the sound card that only affects this one device?

Thanks,

BT speakers have own DAC so they get digital transmission and have own amplifier.alsolarger. Frankly I never heard a good sound coming from a laptop.

If there was a problem with the sound card, would it affect the speaker output and headset output the same?

Most laptop speakers are not good, they may sound perfectly normal for what they are and you are just comparing them to better speakers. No way for anyone else to know unless we can actually hear them.
