I have a $3K Dell XPS 9550 on which I run Debian. One of the things many reviewers noted was "wow those inbuilt speakers are loud". And indeed they are loud, it turned out too loud as they burn out. The fix from Dell was new Windows drivers.
As a consequence I've had my speakers replaced under warranty twice now. The second time I swear it was only seconds before I frantically turned the sound down. Alas it was too late. I can't imagine Dell replacing them for free more many few times, so now I'm paranoid about what is really a hardware bug.
