The good news is that the system is getting power so that section is fine. The not so good news is that the audio section of the circuit board is broken, which can be hundreds of components. So if the system is out of warranty, take a screwdriver and take out the board from the enclosure. Now examine the component side for loose component leads and then on the solder side for loose joints. Next make checks with a multi-meter continuity test between the solder and the copper print for loosened solder. Almost certainly it will be the case of loose solder joint of a transistor/component due to prolonged EXTREME VIBRATION inside the enclosure. Just put your fingers on a working sub woofer to get a sense of the vibration.

So hopefully once certain doubtful solder joints have been identified, just re-solder those points. A few pokes with the soldering iron can do wonders and bring the system back to life.

Also wax up the suspected components so that they don't start swinging again to the beat and get thrown out of the circuit.

SOURCE: Subwoofer crakling sound when playing anything.

there are 2 possibalites
1) sound system does might not be supporting the volume that you want

2) The speaker coil might have become weak so it might be making cracking sound

SOURCE: the adapter is becoming warm, but the speaker

The last point is the most important -- the speaker light is not glowing. That means it's not getting power, and nothing else is going to work.

If you have access to a multimeter (voltmeter) you can test the adaptor to see if it's producing the power that is on the label. That would help you figure out if the problem is the adaptor or inside the speaker.

If you bought it retail, I'd suggest taking it back. I can't say for sure where the defect is, but "I plug it in and it doesn't turn on" is a sure-fire indicaor that it's defective.

SOURCE: No Sound from External Speakers....only from Headset plug.

Hi, had same problem.... unscrew the remote and carefully remove the back end part of the stereo-connector (very careful !) it consists of a very small switch which moves sideways..... this switch is stuck into headphone-modus. Reassemble and it will work again
Note that speakers will work if you remove the switch

Testimonial: "Super info you've given...Thanks. Was going to replace it, but your suggestion is even better. Do you have to remove the switch to remove the casing?"

SOURCE: My speakers won't make a sound.

Process of elimination... check your cable hookup first. then control panel and check sound, right click on properties tab and do a diagnostic.

Speaker produces noice/static/buzzing sound when it is off

That means that if too much power is going to the speaker or extraneous signals are being picked up by the wiring, it can come through the speakers as static. Stopping static requires finding and eliminating that extra electricity from transmitting through your speakers.
If you're still hearing distortion, turn down the volume on your amplifier until the distortion goes away. If the volume is too low to be easily heard, the problem may be that your amplifier produces too much power for your speakers to handle or that your amp and speakers have different impedance ratings.

My speakers are plugged in and connected but there is no sound and it says there is no audio device. how do i fix it

Check that the speakers are powered on (assuming they need power) and that the volume control is set at a mid-level.Next check that you have the speaker 3.5mm jack plug inserted into the correct speaker socket on the audio card - there are normally three sockets, one each for a microphone, speaker or headphone output and for line output - these are often colour coded on newer systems and if so, match the colour of the speaker jack plug to the speaker socket.If the speakers are connected by USB instead of an audio jack plug, then check to see if the USB device has been recognised automatically - if not, then you may need to find any software that came with the speakers and install this before the system will recognise them.Finally, open the system audio controls and check what device is selected for audio output - ensure that this is the same as the speaker device you are wanting to use.One further test, if you have the speakers powered on and they have a standard audio jack, you should hear some feedback sound if you touch the contacts at the end of the jack plug with your fingers.

try cleaning your computer of dust using a fine air blower from a compressor making VERY sure that there is no MOISTURE in the air line specifically around the sound card and the CPU central processing unit dust causes static to build up in a computer

I can't heard no music why?

Several possibilities come to mind: speakers have failed (self-powered speakers have bad power brick, cable damaged, etc), speakers plugged into the wrong port (audio in instead of audio out), audio card or driver has failed.

If you recently had to restore your OS (or do a roll-back to a "known" good configuration), check your audio device (make and model) and make sure you have the latest driver installed. (Look at the website for your computer if it is a prebuilt system or look up your motherboard if it is an on-board audio device.) The device manager might have a yellow exclamation mark on the audio device if this is the issue (access from the Windows Control Panel)

Check for bad speakers by trying another set of speakers or plugging them into another computer. (Swap cables if that is possible.)

I hope this helps.

It does seem to be getting a power sound from my computer. When I plug in the jack to my laptop it does not make any sound to the logitech speakers and the sound continues to play from my laptop speakers.

You need to change the default audio output device in the audio control panel and restart the application (e.g. Media Player) you use to produce the sound.

Speakers not working.

The easy way to trouble shoot sound problems is to plug the speakers into another device like a portable player and see if they produce sound. If you had sound from your portable device but no sound from your speakers then your speakers have died. You can see if the computer is producing any sound by pluging your headphones from the portable into the computer and see if you have sound.

Speakers All Cut out Including Sub When Music is Played Loud

UNPLUG THE GREEN WIRE FROM THE COMPUTER AND PLUG IT INTO A CD PLAYER IF IT WORKS BETTER ON A CD PLAYER THAN THE COMPUTER IT SELF THERE MAYBE A PROBLEM WITH THE SOUND CARD AND ALSO TRY THESE STEPS I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU I AM SURE ONE OF THEM WILL WORK.

1. Please ensure that the all the connections between the satellite speakers and the subwoofer are firmly connected.
2. Next, please connect the green colored 3.5mm audio jack to another audio device such as an iPod or an MP3 player.
3. Ensure that the SoundTouch remote control is firmly connected to the back of the subwoofer.
4. Connect the power cord from the subwoofer and connect it to another single power outlet in your house. If you have an automated voltage regulator (AVR), please connect the power cord through the AVR instead of connecting it directly to a power outlet in your house.
5. Power up the speaker system and check whether the power button on the SoundTouch remote control will light up.
6. Turn on the Matrix Mode ON. This option is on the SoundTouch remote control. This is to ensure all speakers from the speaker system will produce audio that will be played from the audio device.
7. Play audio from the audio device. Check and see whether the all the speakers will produce audio being played from the audio device.
