If you use VLC media player on Compaq or HP, be warned. I sent my compaq over to the HP service center. The issue had nothing to do with speakers. But, the HP service station dude warned me to use VLC Media Player sparingly.
He told me that if VC media player is installed, HP won’t replace the speakers as it damages the speakers. But, again there is a catch. What he said was “we see the state of the speaker, and if we do not find the damage we replace it.” He also said that “we understand that a lot of videos don’t work without VLC.”
Best way is to keep your default media player to Windows Media Player and use VLC as a last option.
