If it works on another computer without any problem, then problem might not be with your speaker, it must be with the computer's probably with sound settings. I think it was working with your windows XP running desktop and your other laptop, but it doesn't work with another (new) computer. If so, could you please let me know the model and make of your new computer with the operating system installed on it? If the sound card on your new computer is onboard, then I will be able to find out the details about the sound card and it's related software and I would check out it's settings/features. But if in case the sound card's purchased separately and you installed it, then I would need that sound card details.


If my assumption is wrong and your problem is with your speaker, then I won't recommend you to get it repaired. If it's a new item and you still have the warranty unexpired, then that's another case, and so this would be your time to use the Warranty.

Let me know with the details mentioned above.

Thanks.

have you made sure that your dell computer is compatible with windows vista before upgradeing if not compatible you will have to reload it with windows xp

yeh radio shack ,,,or cut end off of old set if u have any and wire it 2gether,,

try to update the audio driver of the computer. you can download the latest audio driver from your computer manufacturer's web site then restart your computer.

USE SOME SPIRIT OR WHITE PETROL ON THE VOLUME CONTROLER ITS JUST BECAUSE OF MOIST TURE AFTER USING SPIRIT TURN THE VOLUNE CONTROLER TO END AND TO MIN TWO THREE TIMES 

I had the same problem and found the root cause to be the RF speaker connector at the back of the subwoofer. The male and female connectors are OK. It is the 5 male pins inside the connector and the way they connect to the female holes that is the problem. Wiggle the RF speker connector as you move it in and out until you get 100% of audio voilume back. Once you get it back, do not move the connector. Have not found a permanent solution to date beyond this.

the specs on mine are #239 1 amp 250volt. this is a fast burn fuse. you can find it any radio shack.hope this helps.

in order for your sound to work you have to disable the on board sound in the bios . unless you already did the , then i would return it and get a different one.

Don't Connect them to the Monitor Directly.
It will Be easier for you to Connect them TO THE SOUND CARD (back of computer).

The speakers are heating up because there is a short in the audio circuitry on the mother board, and I would consider you extremely lucky if that is all that is over drawing current and heating up. You may get lucky and be able to connect external speakers to get sound without melting your laptop.

Have you tested the speakers on another computer? Have you installed all of the software including the Creative Audio console?
If yes to both, you need to go into the Creative Audio Console and select the speaker configuration tab and use the drop down menu to choose the speaker configuration you are using. They offer 2/2.1 4/4.1 5.1 6.1 and 7.1 options. If you don't select the speaker configuration, the speaker ports for the other channels are disabled.
There are also options in various media players for speaker configurations. Most don't auto configure. At least not with the Creative Audigy cards.
Hope this helps.
