Thanks guys for taking the time. I fixed my problem. Here's what I learned in case it helps someone else in the future. I'm building an arcade cabinet and was using the ProMedia 2.1 speakers.My goal was to wire a pot in the front below the control panel (joystick area) that was available for anyone playing to adjust the volume. Because of the control pod, I couldn't just use it's main volume knob. I had to wire my own pot to the control pod's circuit board.
The pot in the pod was a 50k but I switched it with a 100k. I thought I was going to have to use a dual gang pot but I got away with a single gang pot because of the way the pod is wired. IF you look in my picture, you will see 6 holes. The main volume knob pot that was plugged into the pod had two functions. One is to raise and lower the volume of the headphone jack.(That is the 3 holes on the top). The other 3 holes ,on the bottom, is what I soldered my pot into. The bottom 3 holes control the volume for the actual system.
I was reluctant to use a 100k pot since the pod was using a 50k, but it sounded fine.
MAJOR EDIT.....
I contacted a guy who has done some extensive work with some of the Promedia speaker series. He knew quite abit about the circuit diagrams. Anyway I was completely wrong about how to wire it up. I posted a pic. Appearently I needed to use all 6 holes for my pot. I needed a dual gang potientiometer. It's sometimes called a double pot. I simply soldered the six wires to the new pot and it worked.
Normally a regualr pot has 3 tabs for 3 connection to whatever circuit board that it goes too. For stereo applications like these speakers, there is a left and right channel. With my previous mehtod, I was only adjusting one of the channels (left) Oops.. Let this be a lesson learned heh.
It's hard to see, but there are six wires soldered to the board. Thanks Evan.
