Hi there, I'm having a problem with my 4.1's, the rear channel doesn't work at all, just some loud static and popping when I turn the surround volume knob. Front channel and sub work great. Any ideas on what the problem might be or how to fix it? Anyone have a working 4.1 control pod they'd be willing to sell me? Has anyone ever used the sub/amp and speakers and rigged up something else to control them? Klipsch says they'll fix the control pod for $60 which seems steep, especially considering how many issues there are posted here about these stupid control pods! Thanks! (Oh, i posted on another thread here yesterday but this thread has more responders, I'm just hoping that someone who can help me out reads it)

I am having the same exact problem with my Promedia 4.1 speakers. Was there ever a solution to this problem? Is it a busted control pod? Klipsch's site says that the control pod is discontinued - these speakers still work great, I really don't want to have to get rid of them but I really want the rear channel for gaming... Does anyone know where I can get a new control pod? Or where I can get this one repaired (I'm really just assuming it's the control pod) Also, I've tried wiggling all the cables, unplugging and plugging them back into the circuit board to no avail - what exactly does the DIN cable replacement fix? Could that be the problem? My initial guess was that the potentiometer for the surround channel is screwed because of the scratching and popping when i turn the knob... Thanks!
