Hi, There is no way I’ll be able to make that simple fix on my own with my Pro Media 5.1 ultra’s. My humming started about 6 months ago. Is there anyone doing this repair without charging an arm and a leg? Stpete are you still repairing these? Thanks in advance.

I opened up my sub last night to find some sort of strange power configuration that this guy had put together. They work perfectly so I don't know. I have no idea where to look for a new chip if he put one in.

I wish I knew exactly. He said it was a power chip taken from a dvd player to power the satellites. I'll try to follow up if you feel it would be helpful.

Thanks so much for the reply. You were completely right. I was very lucky and found an electronics guy that knew what he was doing. Looks like the BASH chip HC1011 to the satelitte speakers blew. He was able to use a different chip to power the sat speakers and they sound beautiful again. Cost me $100 bucks. []

I've tried all options you've given me. I've even open'd up the subwoofer and looked for any obvious issues. No dangeling wires. I'm not an electrician so there could have been something there that i'm missing. I would have no idea what to touch or move. The satellites sound great when they work and go straight to the subwoofer after 30 seconds of use. Is that the amp?

Sounds like the same problem I'm having. Just started a new post about it. 3 months and no help. Anyone? Please.

I have had my 5.1 Pro Media Ultra's for almost 8 years without any issues. Yesterday all of the sudden the satellite speakers started cutting out. When playing music the subwoofer stays on but the satellite speakers cut in and out. I thought it might be a driver corruption under Windows 7 so I uninstalled and re-installed the Realtek audio drivers with no luck. I eventually re-installed Windows 7, thinking it was a software issue, and I am still having the same problem. I have a set of logitech 2.1's that tested fine so I'm guessing it has to be the 5.1's. Any ideas or suggestions? What's my next move? Thanks in advance for your help.
