Speakers fade in and out when listening to music

I have just recently moved my computer to a new residence, and now my speakers are not working properly. When I listen to music it fades in and out. It will go from the volume that I have it set at, to a lower volume, then back up. This is not something that happens right away, it takes a few minutes of listening. I would appreciate some feedback as to how I can fix this problem.

    Thank you very much for your help. Your solution worked great.

    Computer speakers started fading in and out again. The speakers will jump up to a higher volume randomly and then shoot back down to what it was set at. I have tried to fix this by unplugging the speakers from my surge and directly plugging it into the wall, also I have disconnected the whole system and then connected it. I tried the last solution and it seemed to help for alittle while but then, it came back. Could it still be dust or maybe my sound card ot r are the speakers just crap?

    My speakers do this, as well. They were working great until recently, when I noticed that they were fading in and out, with the volume changing and the speakers sometimes just cutting out. It even happens when I plug the jack into my iPod, so it's definitely the speakers.

    My volume gets louder and returns to normal setting randomly. I re-inserted all connectors & cleaned the volume pot with alcohol but it still has the problem. Do you have any information what may be the cause? Email me at [email protected]

    Everything here is exactly the same with my Dell 5650. They worked good for about a year and a half. The volume fluctuates with a CD player also. Definitely in the speaker itself (not the sound card).

    Yep, I have the same problem with my Dell MMS 5650 system...

    The symptoms: volume randomly varying, sometimes much lower and then much louder.
    I have been testing with headphones on the output of my Creative X-Fi card and the volume is consistent. The problem is within the subwoofer/amplification circuit. I have ordered a replacement system and will open the old unit and fault find once it arrives.
    I'll post a solution once I fix it if possible but it looks like there is a inherent problem with the unit as all outputs FL/FR/C/RL/RR are affected. Could be a faulty FET as posted here:

  • Anonymous Nov 30, 2008

    I've had this problem for quite some time on my computer.  It has also happened on a system my dad has set up in his garage which is an iPod directly attached to computer speakers (but with no computer).  Maybe it's a power issue?

Ensure all connectors are properly inserted, then if you have a speaker mounted volume control, then run it back and forth rapidly about 100 times with power off. this will allow the tiny copper "wipers" contacts to brush off any accumulated dust.

This is 2 units in a row. There must be some problem with them. I have given up and bought a Logitech G51 instead. Sounds better too...

Hi Roxanne
Sounds as though the power-supply might be faulty. As you turn up the volume more power is required from the supply and it's not delivering - hence the light fading.

No sound coming out of speakers but lights moving on board

The Efx 12 has two outputs monitor out as well as mix out ( XLR sockets ). If the level bars are moving its an indication that the mixer is working. Have you tried headphones out as well as monitor out.
What is your amplifier and speaker setup- you have not mentioned it at all.
Even if any PFL switch is on you won't get sound out of the speakers.
PFL stands for Post Fade Listen and when any of the 12 channel PFL switch is on only the headphone out put will work.

Radio Interferance on my logitech computer speakers

You may be now living too close to a radio station. Sometimes when this is the situation, anything electronic gear plugged into a wall socket can act like an antenna, thus receiving signals from local radio stations.

My speakers wont work suddenly unless I am using my headphones

Make sure in the volume mixer that it is using the right sound device. You most likely have it set to the wrong device output. When you plugged in the headphones in kinda automatically switches, but to use the speakers again you have to do it manually. Just hook up a cheap av receiver to your computer and use this headphone input instead. a 100$ 5.1 av receiver beats any pc speaker system.

Alvan and The Chipmunks reside in my Gmax 2100 speakers!

If you have a sound card added on your motherboard, i suggest you uninstall the drivers, take off the sound card, attach it again and install the drivers.

If you connect your speakers through the motherboard itself, uninstall drivers and install them by searching C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers

Hope it helps!!!

First things First!

2) check connector for loosing electric connectivity.
3) check with your headphones to see if your iPod play music well.
4) Check, power on the computer spk. you got. or the input that is working right.
Good Luck
