I dropped my laptop while lounging in bed—just a hard slam onto the floor—and now the volume's completely shot. I've tried adjusting the settings and even cleaned out the headphone and speaker jacks, but nothing seems to work. I'm starting to think that getting a new speaker might be my only option. Has anyone dealt with something like this? Would getting a new speaker or microphone even make a difference for sound or recordings?

You should definitely take your laptop to an Apple Store for a diagnosis. It sounds like you’ve broken something important. They can give you a better idea of what’s wrong and whether it can be fixed or if you're looking at a replacement.

I get your concern about them just pushing for a new purchase. But honestly, it’s worth having them check it out first. They might be able to repair it instead of making you buy a new one.
