I have an Asus X401 and the speakers are on the bottom and muffled and aren't LOUD. Does this have the same problem?

Well normally laptop speakers are not to be that loud, so all what I did was to get two speakers for my laptop and its cool.

I always have my computer on top of a book so that the fans can keep the computer cool. So, I don't notice any muffling. The sound is pretty good.

I might be getting noise from having your settings too high. Try turning everything down all the way except the volume and see if it goes away

They are indeed terrible and barely audible, at least on my monitor. I thought it was a defect until I saw everyone else mention the same problem.

The audio output of your laptop is probably higher than that of your portable devices, still, when you connect them to your portables you should check the volume. Mine sounds ok in any device I connect it to.

Hi. It´s probably defective,, but I always use the headphone or aux "out" to an extarnal speakers, the sound from the built in speakers is not good, so before you return it, maybe try that, I got myself 2,1 speakers from Logitech and they are amazing and they only cost like 100 $...

Mine is hooked up to a desktop with a discrete sound card. I "suspect" if you go into control panel>sound, just make sure you choose the right output in "playback" tab of sound in control panel. It wanted to have AMD high definition sound but I changed it to my card. You can do this and if you are not sure which is the correct one, make sure you have music playing as you try each possibility, the one that lets sound come out your speaker is the correct one. This is a windows sound configuration issue, not a monitor issue, just saying. Hope that helps, if not, if you get the results and have amazon contact me I will try to help more.

I do not have this problem. It could be just a manufacturing error. I would just contact the company about this issue as I do not have this problem with my speakers.

Newegg specs it at 17.6 dba. I can't hear it unless I put my ear next to the case.

I heard a lot of noise as well, that is before i bought a dedicated audio interface, like an m-audio m-track, preSonus, focusrite, etc.. If you're not using one, then i'd say get that first. I have no noise now at all settings. From -30db, and i usually have my speakers set at the +6db and nothing. i'm also using the 1/4" to 1/4" plug into the balanced inputs. If you're using an audio interface, then i'd say call customer support and get it fixed.

I'm not sure how your setup is but I run my speakers out the back jacks and headphones from the front jacks, use your sound card manager to spit them, I am using Realtek for Asus, pretty user friendly

The problem is not just the speakers. There isn't sufficient amplification to product acceptable sound levels. best to get a sound bar or an inexpensive receiver and speakers. YMMV

"Loud snaps and pops when the computer re-boots" : I believe that is nothing to do with the speakers. I get that sound with any speakers with my computer. An Audio card with a noise filter might fix that sound.

I can't get mine to work. I don't think this model has a microphone. I called ASUS and they didn't know????

Lol. That happened to me too. You need to plug in both the usb cable and speaker/headphone cable into the laptop for it to work. Additionally there's a volume control button on the cord itself. If you think that it's playing too softly, that's because the volume is not turned up all the way. Trust me it plays pretty loud for such small speakers.

I have not experienced any problem as described with my speakers. Sorry I can't be of more help.

No not at all. It's possible that you have the mono setting set louder then the left. If it's not that then it's possibly a defect
