Today i realized that my right 2 speakers are not working. setup: altec lansing 4+1 system (l/r front, l/r rear, powered sub) all the speakers plug into the sub which is where the audio inputs go to as well. 2 inputs from laptop, front and rear. Things i know so far: - just plugging in one input at a time. only the left front or left rear work. - fuse is good. - right front speaker controls volume, nothing works without it. but it still controls volume regardless of not getting any audio input. - windows audio settings are all good. volume is up on both speakers, balance is centered, etc. |

any of the wires get pinched? how the the speakers get the audio signal (from amp to speaker) from the woofer box? is it with stripped speaker wire into a friction terminal, or is it with stereo mini (3mm) jacks... if the later the jacks tend to wear out after while for whatever reason. ------------- Xbl:PhantomReign97

it uses the 3mm jacks. I dont think that is the problem though. The volume is on one of the speakers which isnt getting any sound, but it still controls the volume. I would think that if the jacks were worn, it would no longer control the volume of the other speakers. |

yeah. hmmm. could be board problem with the volume control, or an amp issue, since you said certain channels dont work. ------------- Xbl:PhantomReign97

they are probably 7 years old, could just be the board going bad i guess. i guess i could open it up and see if anything is fried. |

ugh. took the box apart today, kinda. jerkoffs made it impossible to get anything out without destroying the box. -cant get the circuits out without removing the sub -cant remove the sub without ripping off the front cover and the attached sub volume control -even then you cant get the sub out without unplugging it from the circuit board that you need to remove the sub in order to get at - and to top it all off, the box is full of fiberglass insulation. so now i need to buy new speakers :( |
