OK, thanks for your reply. I'll see if I can track down a voltmeter to check my pots. Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you, but I finally got around to opening up the pod. Oddly enough, I don't have a R34 resistor (the space is there; it's just empty.)

I've had my 4.1s for 7 years now. They worked fine when I packed them up a couple of months ago for a move. After unpacking and setting them up, I got a LOUD pop and crackling whenever I turned them on or off (even with the volume on very low). That unhealthy sound has died down a little, and I can hear a tiny amount of music coming out of them, but it is mostly drowned out and distorted by the loud crackling noise. Any idea what the problem might be or how to fix it? Is it possible the really loud popping and crackling has blown the sats? Since they're starting to get older and have given me 7 great years, I'm thinking about just picking up a new set... Any advice would be appreciated.

Hmm... I don't think it's the tweeters anymore. I've tried swithing speakers (and wires) as well as reversing the front/rear from my soundcard. The weird sound (which I can best approximate as softer sound in general and esp. weak tweeters) always comes from the same two outputs on the sub. Is it possible I blew a fuse or something in the sub? Should I bring the sub in for repairs? Thanks --S

Turn down the volume on your software volume control to a low level, and increase the volume on the speakers. (I'm assuming you have this problem only at lower volume levels. If there's a significant difference at louder levels, this won't fix anything.) Hope it help! --Screw

Well, I'm sure Amy is nice, but not THAT nice... my speakers are a yr and a half old. The sound isn't THAT bad, since I still have two of the four tweeters working. Is it possible to only replace the tweeter, or do I have to get completely new satellites? Thanks, --S

Hi I think the tweeters on the front speakers of my 4.1s are blown... is there a way to check for sure? What can be done? --S
