[editline]18th July 2011[/editline] Ok Sweet dreams facepunch I hope you can help me some how.:smile:

I wonder if it screwed something up with the speakers. Hopefully its a software problem not hardware one (like blown speakers).

Well me being over optimistic probably wont help, do any of you know if I could replace the speakers? [editline]19th July 2011[/editline] WAIT [editline]19th July 2011[/editline] This laptops only a year old I think it may have some kind of parts Warranty.

I can't help you but your title made me laugh Thanks kind sir

Would a blown out speaker be under[URL="http://support.asus.com/warranty.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=3&s=245&m=K52Jr&os=&hashedid=CyyiEd0t9iKZ6Afg"]this warranty[/URL]?

Do you have any headphones? If you plug those in and you still get trash sound, then it's probably the sound chip.

Try using a Ubuntu LiveCD and seeing if sound issues persist across OSes.

Well, seeing as it started occuring after you installed an Emulator, my best guess would be that your audio driver somehow fucked up, so do what the gentleman above me suggested.

Well my head phones work so it probably hardware, asking my father he said we are better off trig to replace it our self would be easier.
