Tinny is normal. Tiny speaker. However cracking and popping sitting idle is not.

Grab some headphones and check that.
Any sound that comes out of it is very distorted, even at low volumes.

Grabbed a pair of earbuds, sound is fine through them. I'll link a video of the sound quality. This is at 50% system volume. 

The right speaker is fine, the 1400 doesn't have one! ;)
And I see that, now that I've taken off the speaker cover*  :)

*Which is now being superglued back together- looks like the previous owner broke it and put it back in without gluing it back together.

Here's the video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fs80mtelflfl3pt/IMG_3984.MOV?dl=0
