I am using my labtec subhover with safeway speakers. I cut the control wire from the subhover but now the speakers are not working. Do the subhover need the control wire eventhough it was not working

SOURCE: Volume control unresponsive

The LED didn't turn on ,indicate the DC pwr was missing , you need to ensure there is a Dc supply to the speaker unit,once you got the LED on you will be able to control the volum.

SOURCE: No sound

Make sure you've got your V20's set as the default sound playback device.
Control Panel -->
Sounds and Audio Devices -->
Tab 'Audio'; select 'Logitech USB Speaker' in the dropdown list in the first item on the tab.

just a thought...

SOURCE: no sound

see if u can get master speaker wiith cables on it that died on ebay best bet what kinda are these

SOURCE: speakers

1. first findout the problem is due to speaker or from your computer soun driver or hardware.
2. for checking speaker, connect to an ipod or walkman to the speaker input if it works the speaker is okay
3. check the computer sound driver software may installed properly
4. for these type dxdiag on run in the start menu
5. check the sound driver problem, if it re install the sound driver by using its cd

SOURCE: labtec 1070 speaker wire is shot

It looks like this wire is not replaceable. The good news is you can get another pair of these exact speakers for 8.99 us. here is a link for that :
