Can replace my polk audio fuse with a T3.15A 250v fuse

It depends on what it is on, but I am seeing mention of a 1 POINT 6 (1.6) amp fuse so NO to a 15 amp fuse. Fuses are there to protect against shorts or overloads. The fix is not to put in a fuse that is 10 times bigger, or you burn out components or wiring. Fix the reason the fuse blew, normally take to an audio electronics engineer. fuse (1.6A) 120vac https://www.google.com/search?q=polk+audio+fuse ..

I have a Polk audio PWS 110 powered subwoofer. Static sound is coming from the speaker. I have checked all the connections and everything appears to be ok.

go to the hardware store and buy a cheap plug-in polarity checked for the electrical socket. If the polarity is reversed, or your ground is improper is will give you a different colored light. Polarity is easy to reverse. Shut off the main breaker box in your home and simply take the cover off the outlet and swap the two wires with the narrow and wider blades on them. Make sure the ground wire is actually grounded to something like a water pipe of connected to the house ground rod, #4 rebar, 18 inches long with a thick copper wire and brass auto batt connector will work fine... bury it deep and remember where it is in the flower bed underneath a window sill outside. If the subwoofer is near the TV, you made be getting interference from it, if the cabinet is not shielded against RF.

Help with repairing this product, Polk suggests replacing the amp !!

To troubleshoot this you need at least an ESR meter. Capacitors can fail with no outside indication.

Are Windows 10 drivers available? Thanks!

Not generally. Another reason to stay away from 10. Manufacturers not obligated to provide - rather sell you new equipment.

No power. Fuse was blown but replaced fuse and still no power.

If fuses blown there is a case to search for short circuited active parts examples are end-transistors caused by clipping speakers cable shorts leaking or convexed capacitors but any new fuse will blowing again and again also the bridge rectifier to make dc voltage inside the power supply of the subwoofer can caused this problem

I have polk audio rm 705 purchased from my friend a month ago. these are working fine but one day one speaker just have very low sound coming from tweeter where as the main speaker is silent.

Try switching the speakers left to right. If the same speaker is bad on both channels, the speaker is bad. If the good speaker is now bad, the unit driving the speakers is bad.
