Crackling static noice

My Harman Kardon HK395 Satalite speakers have started to make crackling , static noise when hitting lower basey sounds , when watching film especially. Took back off sub woofer and found one capacitor thats suspect and component "104J 2A"?? Both have signs of leakage. Could these be the problem?

Hi Roovejet.

The capacitor 104 is 0.1uf ceramic has no reading with analogue multimeter in any range of ohms scale.
if it read any of ohms value ,it is bad.
please check the large electrolytic capacitors too and loose connection for the board and.if you have volume controllers clean it with alcohol or contact cleaners.
if your device is older than 5 years it is time to change all the electrolytic capacitors.its sound like foolish but it brings new life and same quality when your buying time to the sound system.


regards.

What cable connects a Dell PC to a Harmon Kardon HK395 sub woofer?

3.5 m/m. Normally it is color coded green. The pink connects the subwoofer to the speakers. Any color will work. Just mark both ends of wire jacks.
