Last night I was using our family laptop. I Googled something and noticed the Moog Synthesizer \u201cGoogle Doodle\u201d. It was amusing and I played it with it for a few seconds. I fiddled with some of the switches and pressed some of the keys, listening to the awful resulting noises.

I opened the Windows Run<\/em> dialog and pressed Alt+A<\/kbd> (a quick, easy, and reliable way I always use to test sound) and heard nothing. I ran a game I had just been playing and again heard nothing.<\/p>\n The Google doodle had blown the little speaker in our laptop.<\/strong><\/p>\n Last night I was using our family laptop.
