Tablet has become a channeler for the souls of the damned

[Oscar Wilde]

I have a ViewSonic Viewbook I got about a month and a half ago. It's worked fine until sometime last night, when the speakers stopped working. I still get sound with a headset fine, but the speakers on the device give no sound.

Managed to get it to play sound with an alarm app I use, but in addition to the music that was played, there was this incredibly loud screeching drone, much akin to the screams of a thousand damned souls.

Was wondering if anyone might know what the problem is.

I don't know about tablets, but in laptops it's usually busted speakers.

Man, and here I thought it was about some dude who tries to scam people with some sort of ghost claim involving his tablet.

Whelp, luckily it's practically new, so the warranty should cover it.

Still a pain in the ass.

I would tend to suspect a faulty built-in microphone, I remember we had a few laptops at work that would produce some godawful noises because the built-in mike had fucked up.
