Sorry, I should have explained that after playing with the knob, the sub will kick in but only for a few seconds before cutting out again. Also, turning the knob slightly to the left or right or wiggling it doesn't usually work. It almost always takes a full low to high sweep of the knob to get the sub to start working. Do you still think it's a volume control issue?

Here's yet another Promedia 2.1 sub issue. I've owned my 2.1's now for a very long time. I bought them around 2000 when the v.2-400's were still around. Less than a year into owning them, I sent back the sub because it wouldn't kick in until after a few minutes of the satellites working alone. I got the replacement sub and it has treated me very well with no issues for many years. But, the other day I noticed something disheartening. I fired up some music and there was no bass I played around with the subwoofer knob on the pod and the bass came back. Today, I had the same thing happen, no bass, then after cranking the knob to full and back it seemed to kick in again. Since these are obviously out of warranty, anyone have any suggestions of things I can try to fix them? Is it time to get a new set?
