I have a pretty peculiar problem: the internal speaker is extremely faint. If I turn up the volume all the way and put my ears close to the case I can hear it working, but it's super soft. I replaced the speaker with another one (bought off the 'bay) and it didn't make a difference. The motherboard is very clean, the capacitors (as far as the eye can tell) show no signs of problems, i.e. no bulging, etc.

Any thoughts, other than recapping? My soldering skills are nowhere near good enough to attempt replacing SMD caps.
