Hello , just bought this PC its a week old and today the speaker on it has gone bananas , it sounds like someones trying to badly tune an electric guitar at full volume on it.
I don't think its blown but it soon will be , something has gone badly wrong somewhere but I have no idea what.
This happened whilst my daughter was on it doing her schoolwork she doesn't know what happened but said it updated??
Is this fixable or is it going back to the shop?
Cheers
Graeme
