Everytime i turn the volume up or down via my speakers, the power (of the speakers only) will cut out for a split second. i noticed today that i had my music on and the speaker cut out completely and only came back on when i changed the volume. Whats going on? i think its a something inside of the speaker, but i dont wanna open the speaker and start messing around with things if i dont know whats going on

just get like good priced headphones like i did i got mine from the music store just make sure u can un screw the piece for it to fit into your computer

By the sounds of the Volume control is on it's last leg.

Do they distort when you terned them up to high?

do what i just did, buy a surround sound system  and a new sound card

If you do have a pair of head phones just unplug your speaker (make sure speakers are off) and plug in you head phones (Green Plug on sound board). Try playing a tune and see if it still cuts out. If not then it's probably your speakes if it does then may want to update drivers or look for a new sound card. Hope this helpes!

i wanna avoid spending money, seeing as i dont have any....

please read my first post. i clearly said that when i change the volume via the speakers the power will cut out

r u using onboard sound or a soundcard?

I'm not a expert or anything,
But it could be a little resistor has blown up and when your try and boost up the Db (volume) it has to much cutting the power.
I'll ask my dad as he's a hi fi freak
<offtopic>Hey I'm msg plus freak
and my dad is a hi fi freak </offtopic>

EDIT: He said that it is probally to do with the sound card beacuse there might be a shortge in the sound card so when it try's to send more power it just cuts them off (switches off)
I've probaly explained that wrong

EDIT AGAIN: This happens to me on my power amp it like sorts of crackles turns off then comes back on, usually because it is either damp hasnt been used enough, or too much. Solve by going up and down a lot (if you have a external power switch) and it should resolve itself

Try it, worked for me!!! I said to do that if it is a external one , and try the other options

Here this has happend to me. Either try and push your speaker cords in tighter . or get new cords. or sometimes if the cord get twisted the connections get lose so twist the cord and it might work not a 100% sure tho..Atleast try

To me it sounds like a faulty pot in the speaker volume control, or a loose conection where the pot connects to the pcb or the rest of the speaker's internals.

Well, if the speakers have no guarranty, you may try opening the one with the volume control, check for the potenciometer (not sure if spelled that way...its the thing in which the volume knob turns), see if its broken or any loose contacts, sometimes with all the turning and pushing they get loose, and therefore it stops, when you turn the knob again, it gets a good contact again and its fixed...If you dont know how to repair it(if thats the problem), go to a technician, its not that expensive..
Tell me, is this problem constant, random, or only happens when you do a certain thing?

the problem is consistent, and its starting to get worse. i might get some new speakers. i have had these ones for 4 years
