This may occur when power to the speakers is interrupted momentarily, but does not happen every time power is interrupted. Interruptions include, but are not limited to, power fluctuations, blackouts, and other environmental conditions. The subwoofer does this to protect the speakers from adverse power conditions.
RESOLUTION: Unplug the alternating current (AC) power to the speakers until the light-emitting diode (LED) is no longer lit (usually 5 to 10 seconds), and then plug them back in. This resets the circuit protection and allows for normal operation.

Your laptop needs to be able to send digital audio. Double-click your Volume Icon, click on Options/Advanced Controls (if it's available). Under there is a checkbox to enable 'Digital Only' mode. If Advanced Options is grayed out, you'll have to use analog external speakers...

Your computer must output digital sound. Double-click the Volume Icon and Select Options/Advanced Controls (if available). Under that is a checkbox that you need to click to enable 'Digital Only' mode. If the Advanced Controls option is grayed out, you're probably out of luck...

You said, other speakers worked fine ono that pc right? And the speakers doesn't on other computers? Then surely the speakers are now defective. It might be the wirings or internal parts of the speaker. Check warranty of the speakers, if it is expired, then you have to replace the speakers.

I would suggest going to START>Control Panel>Sound HQ(or something similar, like Sounds and Audio Devices etc). From this point youll want to make sure, under the Sounds or Output tab, that your Boston Acoustics are selected. If theyre not listed, try to pick whatever it is your plugging into(Say a jack thats on the computer, look for something like "Internal Port" or "Dell Ports" for your computer name.) Please PM or send me an email if the problem persists

Yes, as long as the speakers have their own amplifier -- the sound-levels from the iPod are very _low_, and need boosting.

You need to download the video drivers from the Compaq/HP WEB support/download page. Make sure you select your model laptop
and the XP or Vista Windows version of the drivers you require and install them. Click on this link to download the drivers: -

It sounds like the jack prongs in the speaker may not be making contact. You will have to inspect it, and ohm it out with a multi-meter, to verify loss of contact. You may be able to "spring" the prongs back into place. Another problem is that the jack may be dirty, or slightly oxidized. Spray them off with electrical contact cleaner, if in doubt. Other than that, you would have faulty wiring to the speakers, or blown speakers (blown speaker coils).

You will have to install the audio drivers, these drivers are the software’s or the utilities which actually make the hardware’s work properly the same goes for the sound in the computer,
I think to remove the viruses in your computer they simply formatted the drive and when you do that you have to install all the drivers to make your system run properly.
To check which all drivers are not installed you will have to check the device manager {click on start – click on run – under run type devmgmt.msc} you will get the device manager if there is a yellow mark anywhere it means that the driver is not installed and you will have to install that driver.
To install the driver go to the manufacturers website then go to drivers and downloads select your product and operating system and download the driver.

you can compare the color of male plug agains PC female input....green on green, blue in blue etc..

unisntall the sound drivers and reinstall it from support.dell.com restart the system.
it will start working

I reviewed the manual on these speakers and since they are digital speakers, you have to have a sound card that is capable of digital output. I believe that all Macbooks are capable of digital output, so you may not be hooking them up correctly. Here is a link to the Quick Manual for these speakers. Make sure the cables are plugged in as it shows.

Reinstall the drivers for the audio from dell

Check all wires from the boston speakers( great choice btw, i love mine too)

Check to see if boston speakers work on other devices(ipod, tv, etc.)

Check to see if any other speaker works on the Dell Zino

install sound drivers.

ok from the information you have presented i believe you have to get a male to male adapter for your sub woofer then plug it into your speaker in on the back of our comp and into your analog in on your speakers, please provide more information if this doesn't work and i would be happy to assist you further

This sounds like a bad power supply, or missing earth?

You can't, at least not with the integrated sound. The speakers only take digital input, and the Gateway had a digital sound card installed. That new board of yours has PCI slots available. You might be able to use the old Gateway sound card. I've never tried it, but XP might recognize the card and have native drivers. If not, you might be able to find XP drivers at Gateway's site. Otherwise all you'll be able to do is buy a new set of analog speakers.
