Speakers Problem. Help please.?

Question

Well it just so happens that i started to hearing my speakers bad but my sub-woofer works just like new. This speakers aren't even 1 year old. They costsed me about $37. But the speakers used to sound really good. Then i started to hear a difference like on the background of everything i hear to has like, It's kind of hard noice to explain. When the TV can't find a channel and then it shows black and white dots and a really annoying sound. But not as loud, you can basicly hear the music "OK" but still kinda bad... Well ya anyway thank you and thank you again if you help.

Answer 1

Many possible problems.  

1) This could be caused by a bad connection, try to unplug and replug all of the speaker connections anywhere along the route.

2) Something might be causing this, I know my laptop has a problem with hiss because of it's mic input, so I have to go into my volume control and change it from mic to CD Audio, you might try this.

3) Finally, you may have blown out your speaker.  Speakers are made with a foam lining around the cone.  This lining holds the cone in place.  The cheaper the speaker the cheaper the foam and the sooner it will dry out.  Once this foam has dried, it becomes brittle and can crack easily.  If you play the sound too loud, drop the speaker, etc... the foam will crack and you will get kind of a cross between buzzing and hissing.

If 1 and 2 don't work, you will probably have to go ahead and buy a new set of speakers.  You might try to get some from E-bay or a garage sale or something that will work with your current sub woofer so you don't need to buy the whole kit, but a kit wouldn't probably be too much more expensive.
