Speaker Crackling

ROTFL!!!!

Digital ears? !!!! Yeah right!

Come on DVD + R! It is clear you did not even read your own links!!!!

That is, it is "sound" - which of course is analog - that is converted to 1s and 0s, stored on disk or tape, then decoded back to analog so our "analog ears" can hear it.

And your third link goes to a glossary that does NOT support your claim. In fact, if you bothered to click on Digital audio under See also, you would have seen this,

As for "digital ears" well, I just can't stop ROTFL over that one.

I say again, "THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A DIGITAL SPEAKER!!! Sound is analog. Period! Sure, you can call a horse a duck, but it is still a horse.

You are correct. Many "klaxon", buzzer, and "alarm" type speakers use extremely ridged and robust materials to sustain very high SPLs. BUT high fidelity? No way these tiny speakers can produce a relatively "flat" frequency response across the entire range of human hearing (considered to average, as you noted, 20Hz to 20KHz) with a minimum of distortion.

I don't think it fair to compare car audio to notebook audio. There are no 10" woofers in a notebook And most cars have several mid and high-freq drivers designed to take 10s if not 100s of watts of audio power. Not just 1 tiny speaker for left and 1 for right that are designed to run with 4W or less.

 

Bill is right, human ear is analog and all produced sound is analog. Sound is entirely a function of wave motion. And no, no comparing laptop speakers to proper setups.

To answer the OP, it's probably a problem with a) overdrive (causing clipping) - check volume levels, and if you are techie enough you can disassemble the speaker and see what's going on. b) Interference: check wiring and wireless signals in the area.

 

If you call a Horse a Duck you'll get trampled to death! because they don't like it and get offended

Also going back to the Original Poster, maybe you should wash your ears out! maybe it's the Wax crackling it's been in there that long not the speakers crackling
