esemar Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Hi, A few months ago my sub started making this strange white noise, even when the system is turned off. The only way to stop the noise is to unplug the system. It's so bad now that I don't even have the system plugged in unless there's something I really need to listen to and don't want to use my headphones... Any suggestions or tests I should try? I don't mind messing around on circuit boards, soldering, and that sort of thing, if that's what it's going to take. I love the 4.1 system- just wish it was working 100% right now. Thanks- Scot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silent hill Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 This is the only solution that I could come up with. Your subwoofer cable is probably not pused in all the way. So, if that is the problem sinply push it in harder. If that doesn't work, you might want to try another Subwoofer cable if you have one or you can pick up a crappy one at radioshack for about $ 5 - $ 10. Wright me back and tell me if it worked or not. Hope this helped!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esemar Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 I should mention that it makes the noise even when the 8 pin plug from the "control speaker" is not plugged in. Are there any known issues with the power amp wearing out or something of that nature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftsman Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 If you do a google search on capacitors, you will notice that there is a high rate of failure among electrolytic caps. It is entirely possible that one of the caps have packed it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
