My B/A 735 speakers were working fine then a hum started for a day or 2 & they totally quit working. Power supply is OK & other speakers work on my computer. Where can I get the control board repaired & how much would it cost?

If your computer came with a motherboard disc the sound drivers could be on it

(((appropriate speakers))) also audio you will find 3 drop down lists make sure you have the correct settings there
also
click start control panel sounds and audio devices you can adjust the volume there also select speaker volume you can change your settings there you can also tick in the box place icon in taskbar
if his does not fix the problem

have you tried this control panel sounds and audio,volume,advanced,speakers select the appropriate speakers from the drop down list or navigate to the device manager scroll to system devices + to expand,system speaker right click properties then select use this device (enable) also you might check
the speakers plug/outlet is usually at the back of the computer you will have to open up the computer to check the lead attached to the rear of the input plug make sure the connection is good
try cleaning your computer of dust using a fine air blower from a compressor making VERY sure that there is no MOISTURE in the air line specifically around the sound card and the CPU central processing unit dust causes static to build up in a computer
hope this helps don

When turning up the volume speakers start to humn. Tried on all inputs still humming. Sound comes out but humming is there. Humming only stop when turning the volume all the way down.

You need to add a "ground lift" to the power cord to your system. What you're hearing is a 60 cycle hum (electricity) from house power.

Humming BX8

Hi,

I would have to agree on the possibility of the power supply/capacitor, zener,/regulator and/or diodes.. I sincerely doubt if the circuitry inside would be that too complicated and expect that you can wing it. Other than the power supply, perhaps you may also consider:
1. grounding/shielding of the signal input; and
2. a partial short in the amp section thereby drawing excessive current which would result to the humming sound.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

I have a pioneer elite vsx 36tx receiver that quit working. When I turn it on it just hums. It seems like a power supply but not sure.

I have the same receiver.

Do you mean there is an audible hum from the unit, or that speaker output(s) hum?

Let's figure out what DOES work...

Do you get the audible relay click a few seconds after power up?

Does it tune FM?

Can you get the On Screen Display? Settings all ok?

What preceded this? RSVP.

Wharfedale 10inch cude subwoofer that has a feedback hum when con

Hiya, try a different input cable (from amp to sub) if you have make sure that is ok.

Failing that if there is an earth in the plug, try to disconnect that (earth loop) - unlikely but hey electronics.... anything possible :)

If still there with new cable, earth off etc, then the Yamaha could have a problem but find that difficult to swallow...

Let me know if helps, see any other possibilty
Best of luck

Humminf sound from subwoofer

Most humming sounds in speakers is due to electrical currents or wifi signals nearby the speakers.

Do you have any electrical cables near the speakers? Do you have any wifi device near the speakers?

If so move them out/away and see if there is any difference.

Humming BX8

Hello docjgg,

This sounds like it may be a loose connection (ground) generation common mode noise or it may be a capacitor in the power supply going bad and not providing enough filtering of the AC voltage (allowing for 60 cycle hum). You should get a schematic for the speaker or just take some rule of thumb measurements of the power supply output, with an oscilloscope (you will be looking for ripple voltage, what you could do is use one of your good speakers as a comparison of good to bad.

If you do not want to work on this yourself, you could take the speaker to any TV repair shop or audio repair shop.

I hope this helps

Thank you,

Spkrs quit receiving signals

Hi, assuming you can open the enclosure of the Advent, work on the amp section (please make sure you've isolated the power supply and you will be working with the low voltage section of the circuitry only.) Inject an audio signal, it does not matter where in the amp section, just try the different solder points of the small capacitors normally in the 1uf value. at least one of them should give you a good amplified output from the speakers. In the absence of a signal gen, you may want to try (with care)using your bare finger which should produce a humming sound of about 60HZ or a slight thump in the speaker. If such a sound is produced, then the amp is good and the powersupply is doing its work. You have now isolated the problem to the 900MHz receiver. Am not sure if you can purchase modular replacement in your area but you can also try the sig gen or finger method except for the front end (rf section). Re the humming sound, such a problem is normally related with the power supply section with a defective or leaky capacitor. It is also possible that the input stage of your amp is not grounded right. You actually have just to work on it in stages to simplify fault diagnosis. Since you can hard wire, why not try salvaging parts/module from one unit and putting it in the other to make at least one working while looking for replacement parts/module for the other half of the Advent. Hopes this work out for you. Please let me know how things turn up. Regards
