By tiny spealers, do you mean that the volumn is way down ?  Or did you mean "tinny" speakers and the volumn sound tinny ?  From where does your output emit from ?....soundcard ?...motherboard ?.....separate sound chipset ?  Have you tried to do a stare and compare between the goood recording and the bad recording ?..are the settings al the same, and I mean ALL ?  If it was working before.....what did you do different on the bad guys ?
