I remember Dell laptops also had speakers permanently damaged, they blamed VLC software for that.

Interestingly I have a Dell Chromebook 13 running full blown Linux and I am observing speaker distortion. It doesn't matter to me that much, but a bad driver could definitely cause damages to hardware.
