I also got mine from Costco last week but noticed there's a low humming noise coming from the subwoofer box when the power is ON. And it doesn't matter whether you have volume turn up or down, or if you have speakers connected, or if you connected to an audio source. If you put your ear next to the subwoofer, you will hear it constantly humming.
I know there are multiple versions of Promedia 2.1 out there. Mine is latest version (no power switch, white LED on speaker, control pod has DB-9 connector to subwoofer). Does anyone experiencing this?
