Does static damage computer speakers?
- by incarna
I recently got a new pair of Klipsch Promedia 2.1's for my laptop.
I unplug my laptop a lot to take it around but today the audio plug touched my plug for my monitor and a bit of static came out of the speakers.
I've heard some rumors that static can damage speakers but I've never investigated this problem myself since I previously used a desktop and never unplugged them.
The volume was at a normal volume- am I just being paranoid? Or could having the speaker port touching other bits of metal damage my speakers?
