Question about JBL Encounter 2.1 Computer Speakers
Alright, so I pulled my speakers out of storage, I just moved and got set back up. I hooked them up to my new laptop. when the laptop speakers run the volume is controllable however the speakers nifty volume controller is not working for me. I hope its not my speakers. But being as I'm no computer dummy the only other thing I could think of is maybe a conflict with the drivers and windows vista but I don't think it could be that...
Vista is now known to have driver acceptance problems and the manufacturers of peripherals are getting bolshy at hiving to provide answers- there is a war breaking out between uncle Bill and the rest of the trade. But try on line with the Sound system providers you may get lucky

Okay, so I just tried my girlfriends laptop it is a problem with either the drivers or vista, this is wierd..
Hi ,
Same problem with encounter , running windows xp and have tried to find a driver with no luck . the speakers voloume is very low even with the computer volume at max . they worked before on the same computer . i am totally baffled .
please help
I'm running the speakers with a macbook, they've been fine for nearly a year..plug in plug out.. no probs. Been away for a few days though and plugged the mac back in.. Now even with full volume they are very quiet. Also when pressing the touch controls i get a buzzing noise...? When i went away for three weeks they were fine.. I've tried everything except kicking it.. WTF?
wow, just cured it... took the phono cable and touched it on the touch volume control (+) ...big buzz but now works fine again.. i'm no electrician so am at a loss to explain.. hope this helps anyone else with the same problem...
exactly the same with mine - not used for a while and now the sound is very quiet and not adjustable. I'm lost. Help?
P.S. will try that cable trick tonight..
