If this problem cannot be solved in the software, the speaker may break on its own, or the cable inside the computer might leak. If you can find the repair manual for your PC, don't be afraid to break it and see what it is - otherwise, you can contact a specialist. If you can't guarantee this, please send it back to the manufacturer to have it fixed, or find a local store that can diagnose the problem for you. With any luck, you'll be stuck in no time.
