Acer Laptop Subwoofer Noise

Dec 1, 2009

I recently bought an Acer Aspire 7738G laptop with Windows 7. After a day or two the speakers (in fact i think it was the internal subwoofer) started to make a loud grinding noise which was intermittant but which became increasingly prevalent. It seemed sometimes to be brought on by my going online or somethin like that whilst music was playing, but sometimes started on it's own. Thinking it was a hardware problem I changed my laptop for exactly the same model. Unfortunately however after a few days exactly the same thing has started to happen.

I don't think I am the only one to have had this problem (see link below) and I wonder if it's aproblem with Windows 7 and Acer internal subwoofers. I am not a techy and all I can think to do is to take this laptop back and get a non Acer one. I'd rather not go through all that again (transferring itunes alone is a pain let alone getting the computer to perform in the shop).

Please let me know therefore if there is a simple fix to save me the trouble.

HP Dv7-1444us Laptop Fan Noise?

May 7, 2011

i just began to hear a fan noise about 3 days ago on my hewlett packard dv7-1444us laptop. i am pretty sure it is the fan as i know how the fan sounds and it is not sounding like it used too (instead of the hard drive). it's making a constant whining noise now most of the time. once an awhile it takes a little while to start making the whining noise. i downloaded the hw monitor program and it has these stats:

value min max
compal 30fc tz01 58c (134f) 56c (132f) 63c (145f)
(not sure what compal means)
amd turion x2 rm-75 core #0 58c (136f) 58c (136f) 70c (157f)
core #1 58c (136f) 58c (136f) 70c (157f)

[code]....

tried turning off the fan in the bios but no luck as it still kicks in. was trying to turn it off to make sure it was the fan by the noise going away.downloaded speed fan and don't see any fan readings at all or i don't know how to use the program downloaded the service manual from hp, and of course the fan is the very last thing to get too after taking the entire laptop apart! also found a video on Internet of a different model but almost exactly like mine being taking apart! looks scary and exciting at the same time. why did they put the fan in such a hard to get to place? hard drive is right there after taking out about 6 screws as i did just to take a look!any diagnostics program i can run to make sure it is the fan?can i continue to use the machine. the noise is driving me bonkers, wish i could turn it off and maybe get one of those laptop portable fan things.

Laptop Freezes And Then A Small Beeping Noise?

Oct 17, 2011

i have an acer aspire 5738z and i am using windows 7 ultimate. every time i boot it up it works fine until i start getting onto internet. when i am using internet say, streaming videos on Internet or playing an online game or watching a movie online, the laptop just freezes. sometimes it freezes for like 2 secs but sometimes over 10 minutes. and then sometimes it comes back on again as normal or i will have to manually restart it from my end. i also tried to find any faults using a registry checker and couldnt find any although i am not pretty sure which is the best registry cleaner to be used. i also find that sometimes the laptop beeps just once before it unfreezes.

Laptop Makes 'inserted Device' Noise But Nothing Put In?

Sep 22, 2010

I know this doesn't really give much away to my problem but i'm just as confused.

My laptop has recently started making the little beep noise that would occur when inserting a usb device etc. but i haven't inserted anything into the laptop at all?

I have checked various windows device programs but to no avail, there are no yellow triangles in the device manager, so i'm unsure as to what has caused this?

I have also system restored but it still proceeds to make the noise.

Laptop Freezes And Making Weird Noise

Aug 10, 2012

My laptop isn't even a year old and it started freezing and making weird noise. At first it didn't happen much and only happened when I was watching movies now it happens on everything I do about 4 times a day. sometimes it goes back to normal but then other times I have to press the power button and turn it off. I checked the fan and the fan seems to be fine. And I don't have a virus I scan the computer once a week.

Laptop Shuts Off After Turning On - Cranking Noise Coming From Fan Area

Feb 19, 2013

I have a Sony viao laptop vpc-f1290x. I probably will be unable to give any specs besides windows 7 and i7. Earlier I was playing stacraft 2 after waking it from hibernation and was listening to music with headphones on. I heard a horrific cranking noise and couldn't tell where it came from. A few minutes later I heard it again and realized it came from the fan area or so from the laptop. It turned off and I waited a minute and turned it back on. It started for a few seconds and turned back off. I left it for a few hours then turned it on again and it lasted to the desktop then turned off. I tried a different power source but that hasn't done anything.

Internal Hard Drive Making Beeping Noise, Laptop Won't Start Up

Dec 14, 2012

I am using a Dell Inspiron 14 laptop. A few days ago, I noticed that my laptop has become incredibly slow (the system will hang sometimes, and continue as per normal after a while), and this coincided with my laptop beginning to make this weird, sharp beeping sound. At first I did not pay much attention to it, but later this was joined by several BSODs, and my laptop became even slower (games that usually did not lag was now hanging halfway through, and continuing as per normal after a lengthy period of 1 minute or so). I tried to find the origin of the noise, and I think it came from my Internal hard drive sector, and thus decided to open the sector up (in hindsight I probably should not have). After I replaced it, without doing much (just doing the usual IT-amateur stuff, wiping it and blowing it a few times), my situation has now worsened to the point that startup takes a much longer time, and finally now it hangs at the "Starting Windows" screen, but without the Windows 7 logo showing, and my screen later turns black.

Subwoofer Will Not Deactivate When Using Headphones

Dec 28, 2010

When I plug in my headphones I can still hear sound coming from my computer, I checked and found out that it is actually coming from my computer's subwoofer, the only way to disable it is to actually lower the volume down to 0, even using mute will not turn off the subwoofer and will still play at the volume it is left at. I have tried searching for what could cause the problem, trying every possible combination of sound drivers that could be the source of the issue but I cant find the solution, does anyone know what could be happening? Windows has no information on these things and it seems to be something unique since I cant find a similar problem on google.

5.1 Subwoofer And Center Mixing?

Jun 13, 2012

I just got a dedicated subwoofer today (by dedicated I mean one meant to go into a receiver for a home theater) and I'm trying to set it up as part of my 5.1 set up for my computer. My set up is actually kind of ghetto in a sense. I have two, two piece speakers that are probably meant to be 2.0 set ups separately, all hooked up to my computer and ran as a 5.1 set up. Till today I was just missing a subwoofer and I saw a deal at Best Buy for an Insignia NS-RSW211 for $25 and decided to get one thinking that it'd be a piece of cake set up. Well after an hour of installing and uninstalling drivers I'm still at square one with my set up. The problem is that on my motherboard, the Center and Subwoofer channels are combined into one even though I have six channels on the board. I linked some pictures of my set up in the Realtek client. When I have the "Swap Center" feature on, I have no center but the bass plays out of the sub. However when I have "Swap Center" off, the bass plays out of the center and nothing comes out of the sub. I've been surfing a lot of different forums and no one really has a good solution besides buying a dedicated sound card.

Subwoofer Not Working, Driver / Config Issue

Oct 12, 2009

I just installed Win 7 and I have a 7.1 setup, but my subwoofer is not working. I'm pretty sure it's a driver/config issue, because all wiring is OK and it was working on XP some hours ago. I have an Audigy 2 ZS, but I also tried my onboard Realtek High Definition Audio, but the subwoofer does not work.

Anyone experiencing that / any tips for me ?

Edit: So, anyone got the Audigy 2ZS to work yet?

Creative Sound Blaster Live 24 Bit - No Subwoofer

Nov 23, 2009

My problem is that i don't get any bass out of my subwoofer, my system (as i configurate) recognizes my subwoofer, but as soon as i listen to music there's no sound coming out of it!

My other speakers work, but only the bass is missing!

I wanted to install the console launcher from CD, but in Setup windows said "couldn't find any compatible hardware. Setup will be closed"

But i do not find any latest console launcher in Creative technical support, that's compatible with my Live 24 bit soundcard.

I started this thread, because i couldn't contact any other user who's problem was solved .

No Bass And Subwoofer Not Working In Windows 7 64bit

Apr 18, 2010

I purchased a new Asus laptop a few weeks ago with Windows 7 Home Premium installed. The laptop has Conexant Cocoa II High Definition SmartAudio speakers. The problem I'm having is in regards to the sound I am getting from both my laptop speakers and my external speakers which plug into the headphone port not having any bass. When I have my external speakers plugged into my old laptop running Windows XP the sound is fine and all speakers and subwoofer work, so I know it is all wired properly. When I unplug from my old laptop and plug it into my new one with Windows 7, there is no bass being played. The subwoofer doesn't work and the bass that usually comes from the speakers is not present, and turning up the subwoofer doesn't do anything. I've tried to use the "Bass Management" enhancement feature in the speaker properties, but it has no effect. The only thing I've been able to find that will lead to the sound having bass, is when I enter the set-up for the "Room Correction" feature in the enhancement tab for the speaker properties. During the set-up, the sound has bass, but as soon as the set-up finishes the sound returns to having no bass. The odd part is when sound is playing out of just the laptop speakers, the "Room Correction" set-up menu causes bass to be played out of them too. So I know my laptop has the potential to play bass, it just seems like something is stopping it. I cannot find any equalizer feature. My laptop didn't have Realtek when I got it, but I've downloaded the latest version and installed it (I think) but it hasn't changed anything.

Can't Get My ACER Laptop To Do Anything

Jun 29, 2011

It turned on like it usually does with the ACER logo on the screen, but it goes to a black screen came that said:

We apologize for the inconvenience, but windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.

Followed by some more text, and then it asks how I would like to start windows up, in safe mode(s), last known good configuration, or start windows normally.

So I just select �Start Windows Normally� and it started to boot up, with the Microsoft Windows 7 loading screen. Then KABLAM! The black screen with the different options popped up AGAIN. I then tried every single other boot option, all the safe modes, everything, and every time it would show that black screen with the different boot options(that don't work). So I hit F8 and tried all the options in there, reboot, debugging mode, all of them, they all did the same thing and brought back to that dreaded black screen. I tried everything...except for the obvious destructive restart.I know I will probably have to do a complete restart of my computer, but before I do that, how can I backup data from a non-functioning laptop? Right before this happened, I was going to backup my data, but this happened. I know I need to do a backup all the time, but I was being dumb. I deserve this.

Acer Laptop Keeps Restarting Over And Over?

Jun 26, 2011

Everytime I switch on my Acer 5740 Laptop, after it reaches the POST screen displaying the Acer logo and Setup (F2) and Boot Selection Menu (F12) the laptop restarts over and over again and never stops. It has only been doing this since i installed a new program, after i installed it a blue screen appeared saying "STOP", and a bunch of other text but I couldnt make out what it said as the screen disappeared so fast. It is probably the work of a virus of some sort.I have already tried to boot from my recovery discs, but after the restoring the OS to factory settings, the same restart loop happens again. I cannot even access safe mode as it immediately restarts after displaying the acer logo. But I am however able to access the BIOS setup (f2) and the boot selection menu (f12). I know for certain that I have no hardware problems as the system was working perfectly with no errors up until I ran the program and feel that this may be the work of a virus.Here are the details of my Acer Aspire 5740 laptop that I have acquired via the Setup menu:

CPU Type: Intel (R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 430 @ 2.27GHz
CPU Speed: 2260 Mhz
IDE0 Model Name : WDC WD6400BEVT-22AORTO-(S1)
IDE0 Serial Number: WD-WXF0AB957752
ATAPI Model Name: Slimtype BD E DS4E1S
