Had this issue with my macbook before, disassembled and found the sub speaker disintegrated.

Ordered all 3 speakers from ebay and once parts arrives, proceed to disassemble almost everything to do a general cleaning and also replace thermal paste.

You'll have to check which model/series of macbook pro you having and search ebay worldwide for it. Get from those reputable sellers..

Never had this problem on my mid 2010 MBP. Perhaps you could really get the speakers checked out in case as said, speakers spoilt. Else could be a wiring issue.

Where did you read that 'alot of ppl' are experiencing this problem? 20 dudes posting on a forum does not constitute the majority.

Shouldn't Apple be replacing them for their customers?

Does apple care cover such problems? Seems like it's a manufacturer's defect.

Yes they do if your laptop is a under apple care warranty.
