It sure sounds like to me that your sound properties got messed up some how, Go into your control panel and look up your sound card or sounds. Now once in you settings, You can set them the way you want to hear it, Or you can use the default setting, That would set it back to original factory settings and back to normal, It just sounds like someone changed the settings by accident, That should get your speakers back to normal, You will also notice that there a many settings in your audio properties that can change the way the system sounds thru the speakers. If that don't help the problem let me know we will get it right if you can 't get it.... thanks bear001

Very bad echo, on my NEW Acer laptop 8730G-6945

I had this problem for months - I finally figured it out on my own...

Go to your RealTek HD Audio Manager (this is either a red speaker icon in the bottom right hand corner or if you go to 'control panel, sounds speak and audio devices, realtek hd sound effect manager)

once you have the window open, under 'sound effect, go to environment and to the right of the drop down menu, click 'RESET'.

After months of trying to fix this issue, this fixed it for me!!! I hope it does for you too!

Speakers sound tinny

Did it ever work right? When did the problem start?

Echoes:

There are many DSP modes with this unit. Echoing voices is probably one of them. This is a user setting. Look at the front panel for information regarding that. I imagine the Straight/Effect button might change it.

Have you read the manual and followed the specific menus for setting up the DSP modes?

Screeching, Scratchy Sound: I don't think this is related.

Did it ever work right? When did this problem start?

Is it from all sources? All channels? All DSP modes?

I need more to information be helpful.

Help with Sound

I cannot say directly for your particular model. I will give you a generic answer that can apply to most any computer.

If you hear an echo, look carefuly thorugh the setup for the sound card. Look for anything to do with special effects.

Look for the options or properties that have to do with the sound card that is in the computer. Many of them have special effects capability.

How long has this been going on? Have you tried updating the soundcard drivers or rolling back to the last set of drivers if this is a recent problem?

Another speaker problem

This is because your inbuilt microphone is probably set at boost, and picking up the sound of speakers. Go to speaker icon in task bar an select 'Open volume control' and click on options, then advanced controls, then click mute on the microphone slider control.
