Crackling noise when turn volume knob creative T10

it might be the speaker or it break

SOURCE: i am having problems with the volume knob. The

That is a dirty pot switch.. The volume adjusting pot gets dirty.. Two things to try..

1.) With the unit off - spinn the volume min to max many many times at a rapid pace.. This sometimes will displace the debris in the pot..

If that does not work --

2.) Get some "tuner cleaner" in a spray can.. At Radio Shack or a similar store.. Lay the radio on its back so the volume knob is facing up.. Pull the knob off carefully.. Use short controlled bursts of the spray.. A few sprays and spin the knob min to max several times and repeat..

Good luck..

PLease dont forget to rate for your free question..

Either the control is damaged (happens if they get hit) or it is possible the circuit board it is mounted on has broken solder OR worse, a crack near the control. The unit will require servicing. Parts are readily available.

It's most probably dirt on the carbon track of the control causing the problem.
There aere dedicated aerosol sprays to clen them, and you local Radio Shack could have some - if not, WD40 sould work but will leave behind a greasy residue that may trap dust and cause the problem ot reccurr again.

Assuming you can purchase the cleaning spray, you will beed to dismatle the radio far enough to gain access to the rar of the volume control. There are openings in the cover where the leadouts emerge, and the cleaner can be sprayed into the control from there. Then simply rotate the control back and forward fairly quickly over the full range of rotation, reassemble the radio and it should be nice and quiet again. Note you may need to rotate id a dozen times or so if it's really dirty, and in extreme cases it may even need an additional squirt of cleaner :o)

I reckon this could be an older type of volume control, which if it is a spray of Servisol Video 40 on the workings of the control (inside the unit if you can) should correct it. Otherwise it's an IC that controls it and needs to be replaced.
