Whats wrong with my speakers?

Question

they sound like air is being left out. but all other sounds are normal, but this sound as if "air is leaking out" continuously continues. i have altec lansing 2 in 1 speakers

Answer 1

your gain is too high. Youre hearing the static/interference in the line.

Solution: turn down the volume on the speakers and raise it on  your computer/sound card/ application. you can also turn down your speakers when youre not actively listening to them so you dont hear the hum.

Answer 2

You have "hiss" which usually means a faulty or rubbish pre-amp.

Answer 3

I got my first Altec-Lansing set 36 yrs ago.  If I understood your question better, Perhaps I could answer with something real.  Basically though, this soumds like a quality control issue with the manufacturer.  They are best equipped to help you given its their product.  try to look them up on the web and get in a call to tech support.  I'm sure you can find the site.

It doesn't matter how you came by the speakers, If they are doing a good job, they will want to support their product.
