Cav 2 2.1 speakers volume control is burnt

SOURCE: Peavey floor monitor speakers

you can bypass the volume controller and use the master control. just take out the volume controller and splice the wires from there straight to master control.

You might try replacing the connection cables. Old cables can cause the problem you have experienced.

SOURCE: How do I install a volume control.

First step is to remove the wires from the speaker terminals, but make sure you label the wires in relation to what terminal they were attached.
The terminals on the control should be numbered 1,2,3. The number 1 terminal has the (-) wire connected to it, as well as the speaker (-) terminal. So, the (-) wire is attached to the number 1 terminal of the control and to the speaker (-) terminal.The speaker should have one terminal identified as the (+) terminal. The other terminal on the speaker will then be the (-). The number 2 terminal on the control is attached to the (+) terminal on the speaker. The number 3 terminal on the control is attached to the (+) wire that was attached to the speaker (+) terminal.
Now, I'm not clear on what you mean by "my speaker takes both left and right feeds". I'm not clear on the wiring. The volume control you have is for stereo (2) speakers. If your setup has both channels being fed to one speaker, you can use the two sections of the volume control, both sets of the three terminals to feed the speaker.
If you get back to me with a full description of the wiring, i.e. just how many wires are hooked up to the speaker, I'd be better able to understand the present hookup.

Just as a side note: to determine the pos and neg terminals of a speaker - take any 1.5 volt battery(any AA, C, etc) and place wires from the battery to the speaker terminals. Just momentarily touch the wires to the battery with the other end of the wires attached to the speaker. You do have to visually look at the speaker cone while you do this procedure. If the speaker cone moves outward, then the pos terminal of the battery is attached to the pos terminal of the speaker; therefore, you have identified the pos terminal on the speaker. If the cone moves inward, then the pos terminal of the battery is connected to the neg terminal of the speaker. So in this case you have identified the neg terminal of the speaker, and the other terminal is the pos terminal.

I sure hope this is of some help to you!

So we're talking about a PC here, right?

Perhaps you could fill in some details as everything is software-controlled. Can you access your soundcard controls? It probably overrides the basic system stuff.
