I've had Dell A425 speakers w/subwoofer for 3.5 yrs, and all of a
sudden the volume is one of the speakers is extremely low compared to
the other. If I turn the balance to the low volume speaker, I can still
hear it, but it is a whisper compared to the other.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have the same speakers.
but isntead of one side going,
both sides are dead.
and the light on the control side doesnt even turn on
it is plugged in
but i do not know what is wrong
solutions please?

I had mine for 2 years and they work fine sometimes its probably you green thing that you plug into your computer try it in the earphone on your computer.
Same thing has happened to my a425 speakers. Had them for about 5 years now, and all of a sudden I noticed the right side speaker (one with volume knob) has a lower volume than the other. Of course I checked the balance on the software side, everything's fine there. I opened up the right speaker to check the connections... everything seems connected ok, and the speaker inside looks fine, no corrosion or burnt-looking areas, speaker cone is fine. Definitely doesn't sound like it's blown, there's no rattling at all. I wonder if the magnet has somehow become weaker over the years... certainly possible, but that doesn't explain the difference between both speakers, they should have both weakened at approximately the same rate.
Maybe I'll think about calling dell for a replacement if my warantee is still good
My a425 speaker went too! just one side.(control side)
did you hit the volume control on the tool bar next to the clock? right click it and go to advanced.
also go to control panal then to sounds.... make sure the balace it not on 1 side.
good luck. Target store has some nice speaker sub woofer.... look at the altec lancing VS2321.... they make your dell speakers .
It sounds like a blown speaker to me.

Yes, I tried everything that I can think of. It's not the balance control.
Someone suggested to me to check the resistors in the subwoofer, so I took the back panel off but the innards wouldn't come out of the hole.??? All of it was connected to the back panel, which wouldn't come off, completely.
Maybe it is blown, but it was never turned up loud enough for me to consider it being blown.
I ended up just getting new speakers. I got the Bose Companion II, and they sound just as good, if not better than the Dell. Plus, there is no sub-woofer to take up space... they don't need one.
