I understand your frustration - but I'm trying to figure out what happened.
Unless your audio was already set at a very high level, nothing that can be send to the sound card should be able to blow up your speakers. The loudest thing you can send to them is a block wave - but if you got random distortion at all frequencies then there shouldn't have been too much bass in it, so I don't understand how this could have done anything to your woofers. Tweeters I could have understood in that case.
But maybe my assumption was wrong. If you take a lot of modern day music it's often recorded so loud that the signal already looks like a block wave, and then it's not really possible to make it a whole lot louder. But if you were playing classical music for example then things may be very different. And then the question might be whether there was actually a bug (distortion) or the output level was suddenly increased so much that combined with your amplifier settings it sounded distorted.
Like I said, I tried it here and it worked flawless. And I really want to know what happened...
