The subwoofer for that system also powers the rest of the speakers as well as the
subwoofer as you probably know. Is there any power light coming on? Like on the subwoofer itself where ever the power light is. If not check for a fuse. If no fuse is visable you'll have to take the subwoofer apart, the plate amplifire. There will be screws all around the metal part on the back, you must remove all the screws holding it together. Most of these types of systems have the fuse inside on the board. Also sometimes the fuse does'nt look like a fuse, it could look like a resistor or a ceramic style disk capacitor. Yours will probably have a glass type fuse. If you don't see one look on the board next to the components on the power supply board or if all together look near the transformer area for a F meaning a fuse. /there will be letters and numbers next to each component eg., resistor, capacitor, diode, etc. If you find a glass type fuse replace it with the exact same rating which will be on the end of the fuse on the silver ends of the fuse. If it's not blown you'll need to test to see if your getting voltge out of the transformer. You'll have to have the DVD unit hooked up to it, you don't have to have any speakers connected. The cable from the DVD unit to the subwoofer is what tells the amplifire on the subwoofer to turn on. You could have a blown amplifire IC. I don't know what type of ouput amplifires this uses but I'm thinking IC and not seperate transistors for the output amplifires. You might have one of those blown and if you do then the whole system wont work. Hopefully if that is the problem you'll see a burnt mark on the IIC itsel or some type of burnt spot on the board somewhere to lead you in the right direction to the problem. It could be as simple as a power supply capacitor, who knows til you get into it and start looking around and testing some things. If you don't have the knowledge to do this I am the cheapest electronics business in the USA. It's not a bad system, CrutchField sales it. Also I can waalk you through the steps to narrow the problem down. I help people everyday. You can contact me at [email protected]. I can then give you some more info and my business phone number if you feel up to doing this. It's really no big deal and I find that most of my customers who have never done something like this love and learn some electronics and now fix some other stuff they had laying around. I'm here to help. Thank you for contacting me, have a good day.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/mark_b53a7494531bf96d

What is going on when a knocking sound is heard?

My guess is that it is the power supply is starting and then shutting down due to a fault further down the line. This is the way that 'switch mode power supplies' work. The power supply will 'tick' but may sound like a knock through the speaker system when it is trying to start. Not an easy fix I'm afraid.

No sound from monitor speakers

Lets find out first if it is the monitor' powered speakers problem or the sound card problem.
Try feeding the monitor with sound source such as MP3 player, if it does not work, then the power amp circuits may be at fault, it may not be worth having it fixed since you will be better off spending the money on a good set of powered speakers that will put out so much better sound than the speakers the size of a quarter in the monitor.

No sound even though the computer says everything is working fine, it's not muted, under device manager everything shows to be working. Help Thanks [email protected]

Are the speakers plugged into the correct jack (audio out, not line in)? Check if the speaker cable is damaged and try replacing it if the wire is not fixed. If the speakers are self-powered, check if the transformer is warm (using power). If it is cold, look to see if the specs are given - you may be able to find a universal power supply with the right voltage and amperage at a shop like Radio Shack.

If the speaker wire is fixed, you may be able to open up the speakers and desolder the wire and solder in a new one. However, on low-end speakers, the fix is takes more time than the speakers are worth.

I hope this helps.

Panasonic PV-D308 Palmcorder - no sound

It's probably not worth fixing. Camcorders are so cheap these days and it's high time you upgraded to a good miniDV camera or even a hard drive model.

You could try resetting the camera. See if there's a firmware update for it that may address the issue. Go into the menu to see if you accidentally muted it.

But if a repair is in order, rule of thumb is that if you get an estimate that is north of 50% what you paid for it, you're better off taking that money and buying a newer, more updated model.
