    I have this speaker system. 2 satellite speakers and a subwoofer. It appears to be a tad high grade with strong bass sound.

    I normally use a sound card to get quality sound and I used Creative Labs sound blaster X3 External sound device. It worked for almost 2 years.   All of the sudden, it stopped working,  I could hear the bass part and the rest is totally and entirely distorted, it is a horrible sound. I contacted Microsoft because they were doing updates and upgrades to Windows 10 included a rebust EDGE browser update. Whatever it is, the Klipsch speaker system stopped working. Microsoft tried to help 4 times. Creative Labs' techs 3 times. Klipsch tech guy said not to use  External sound sound devices or DACs digitial analog converters. 

    I tried different speakers ORION Legacy which costs half what Klipsch cost. And it works beuatifully,. The Creative labs X3 devices in direct mode gives you a high quality sound.

    The question I have what is wrong with Klipsch speaker?  I updated audio drivers, windows drivers, configured, and reconfigured for hours to no avail. One tech said that Windows is doing heavy duty updates to Windows 10.  Is it possible Klipsch speakers are no longer compatible?  I noticed that the subwoofer uses SERIAL port cable going to the satellite speaker. I did enjoy the sound and the subwoofer for bass while it work. I would hate to throw the 3 pieces to the dump. Any suggestions, anyway to make it work again?  I am exhausted from troubleshooting.  Thank you much and have a pleasant day.

     

    I have now had the same issue, and it is occurring more frequently, and lasts a lot longer. I have not had my PM2.1 BT work for two days now. Occasionally, I can get the sub to emit some volume, but it is unintelligible due to no mids or high ranges. Even connecting the analog cable to my phone does not play sound, so it is something in the Sub's main board that is going out. It is super annoying!

  2. I am also in the same mind as others that question the 1 watt standby draw, because my subwoofer is always warm! The carpet under it is also warm! I think I will add a switch somehow. I did find the schematics on another posting, so it shouldn't be too difficult I wish I had a heat gun, but I suspect I would read about 110F on the back of the sub, even without any sound going to it. 

     

    I do wonder if having the sub connected via a 1/8" analog stereo cord causes a load and my system is actually not ever going into Standby?

    Sadly I have joined the group of folks that have the hum, and basically I can't use my subwoofer. I work from home, so I have music on all the time, but lower volume to focus and that is how I heard the hum. These speakers were unused for about 20 months, and just got pulled out of an environmentally controlled (Air conditioned) storage unit, so I know they are in like new condition, so I am at a loss of where the hum is coming from. I have it plugged into a CyberPower UPS, and the UPS shows the home wiring has a proper ground, and I get the hum even when the 1/8" analog stereo jack is not plugged into my docking station.

     

    Has anyone found a fix? I lost all my purchase paperwork so I may be SOL I fear.

    So I have managed to find a "workaround" for my buzzing. I can position the wire from the Right Speaker Control Module that connects to the subwoofer in a way that the buzzing stops. If I accidently move something on my desk, and knock the cable out of position, then the buzzing is returned, but I can quickly find the cable's position to stop it from buzzing/humming. When the humming is not present, these speakers are honestly a dream and deliver a punch of bass and sound!
