Question about Harman Kardon SoundSticks Computer Speakers

2 Answers

One speaker not working

I turned the volume (on the computer) down to nothing, then increased it again, and only one speaker came back with sound. The other speaker has a hissing sound when you put your ear to it, but no music comes out of it!? Have worked fine for 2 years, so can you please tell me what might be the problem?? I have unplugged and retried to no avail. Hope you can help!

Find a friend who has an extra pair of speakers and try, but it looks like your speaker has a short/open Try your speakers on a different system, if the problem follows you, your speaker has problems. The cost of fixing theses might not warrant sending them out. Check your warranty. If you were cranking the volume, you could have blown the speaker driver.

Hello ! I have a Sony DAV-DZ640K Home Theater System, the problem is that I can increase and decrease sound levels for individual speakers, like i am able to increase and decrease surround (back) speakers...
Sound distribution varies according to speaker configuration. You have to select speaker size and placement and a number of other characteristics to get results. A review of the setup instructions in accordance with the physical size of the speakers you are using and nominal impedance values may help.

I am having problems adjusting volume
What type of laptop HP , ASUS , COMPAQ , ACER ?..........
Up the Volume on My HP Laptop
Open the "Start" menu and click on the "Control Panel" icon.
Locate and open the icon that deals with sound.
Depending on your version of Windows, it will say either "Sounds and Audio Devices" or "Adjust System Volume."
Adjust the volume under the "Speakers" icon.
To do this, click on the slider bar and move it up on the slider.
If you need to decrease the volume, simply move the slider bar down.
Click on "OK" when finished and close the "Control Panel" window.
Click on the speaker icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen for a faster volume adjustment. Simply move the slider bar up to increase the volume and move it back down to decrease the volume.

Volume on an Acer Laptop
Acer laptops are typically sold with pre-installed Windows operating systems that offer sound-adjustment features for increasing the volume on the laptop's built-in stereo speakers.
These same functions can also be used in tandem with external speakers or headphones to increase the volume, as well as mute all sound on the laptop.
If the computer should output an unusually low volume, fixing the problem may be no more involved than sliding a control switch with the computer mouse. Click once on the speaker icon in the taskbar on the lower-right corner to open a rectangular window with a slide control.
Click and hold the left mouse button on the slide control to drag it upward, increasing the volume to the laptop's maximum setting.
Click the "Mixer" button below the slider control to open another window with volume controls for "Speakers" and "Applications," adjusting each slide control upward to increase the volume.
Be sure the speaker icon below each control is not accidentally muted.
Click once on each speaker icon to remove the red circle with a slash through it, which will restore audio.
Click the Microsoft flag or "Start" button in the lower-left corner if the shortcut speaker icon is missing from the taskbar.
Click "Control Panel" to select "Adjust Sounds" from the Hardware and Sounds category.

Can't hear the skype ring when a call comes into my computer.
If you're missing Skype calls because you can't hear the ringtone, it's time to crank up the volume. There are three different ways to increase the ringtone: within the Skype client, within your operating system's volume settings and by adjusting your physical speakers or headset. You might find it necessary to adjust all three settings to get the proper volume. You also must set your Skype status to "Available," because a "Busy" status disables the ring from incoming calls.

Launch Skype. Open the "Help" menu. Select "Options." Select "Audio Settings" from the left sidebar of the Options window. Find the "Speakers" listing. Uncheck the "Automatically Adjust Speaker Settings" box. Slide the blue volume slider to the right to increase the volume. Press the green play button to test the volume. Skype plays a default ringtone to test the sound. Adjust your computer's sound settings. Windows users, click the speaker icon in the taskbar located at the bottom right of your screen. Move the slider up to increase the volume. Mac users, open the "Apple" menu. Select "System Preferences" and click "Sound." Drag the slider to the right to increase the volume. Turn up the volume on your speakers or headset. Desktop speakers can be adjusted by turning the knob on the front of the main speaker. Headsets sometimes have a small button that can be pressed up and down to adjust the volume, depending on the model.

I want to increase its speaker sound and ear piece sound but i dont know how to
Volume keys: These keys allows you to turn up or down the volume of the ringtone and the speaker. Press these keys to turn the volume display on, and to change the volume.
To lower the volume of the ringer during an incoming call, press the down volume key to the desired volume, or until the option changes to Vibration All Activated. The volume keys can also be used to scroll up or down to navigate through the different menu options. These keys are also
used when the Music Player is active. While on call turn on the speaker and increase the volume with the Volume Key.

Popping & hardly any volume
i had the first problem and you can probably fix it by turning the volume knob all the way up and down about 20 times. it worked for me. supposedly the potentiometers in the z-5300 get dirty or worn out, somehow this might fix it. for the second problem maybe try plugging it into the laptop and unplugging it again seeing if it goes back to normal?maybe its a problem with the amp?
