Ensure that your subwoofer is plugged securely into a working AC wall outlet and power indicator is on. Ensure that the power switch on the subwoofer is on. Are you receiving an Audio Signal? Connect your speakers to an alternate audio source, such as portable CD player or walkman to determine that your speakers are working. Popping/Buzzing/Humming from the System: Are your cable connections secure? Ensure the input cable is snugly inserted into the input socket on the rear of the subwoofer. Try plugging the system into a different AC wall outlet. Note: A slight low level of hum or vibration is normal as the subwoofer contains a transformer. Distorted, Little, or No Sound in One or all Satellite Speakers: Are your Soundcard Settings Properly Configured? Ensure your computer has the latest soundcard drivers from the manufacturer. Most computers contain a standard two-channel soundcard and will not require any adjustments to the speaker configuration. Adjust your computer`s internal volume settings for left-right balance. Ensure that there are nicks, cuts, kinks in your input cable. Jiggle the cables at the subwoofer input sockets whilst playing music through the system to detect a break in the audio signal. Adjust the master volume control whilst playing music through the system to determine whether the level of distortion changes. Determine if the problem persists in the same channel or moves to the opposite channel when the left and right speaker connections and reversed. No sound or weak bass from the subwoofer: Is the bass volume too low? Adjust your computer`s internal treble and bass volume settings to mid-level.
