Can volume booster software (like Boom) damage MacBook Pro's internal speakers? As you know, the sound volume of Mac laptops isn't too loud.

I bought Boom, a volume-booster software for Macs, and after some months of using it for listening to music or viewing videos at loud volume, the bass of my MacBook Pro's internal speakers died.

Now the laptop has very feeble sound, no bass at all. Sound through external speakers has not been affected.

Sometimes the bass seems to come and go as if something is loose inside.

I suspect the loud volume achieved with Boom caused vibrations that damaged the speakers.


Am I right ? 
Is Boom the culprit ?
Has this happened to anyone ?
Boom is most likely the culprit to your speaker failing. Boom uses algorithms to increase the overall volume of the track to a point without clipping. Pushing speakers beyond what they are supposed to do can and will cause damage to them. The reason the speakers have a maximum volume is that is the safest high fidelity sound they can produce. 

Here is a review of how boom works algorithmically http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/review/boom_lets_you_turn_your_macs_volume_up_to_eleven 

Note the overall wave form increase in the article. This will cause damage, clipping and distortion with prolonged use.
