Question:

Can short in computer speakers be fixed?

I paid $40 for my computer speakers and only one speaker and the bass amplifyier works. I dont want to buy new ones. Can this be fixed?

Answer:

Did you buy them new? Make sure you cable from the speakers to the computer is in ALL the way in your soundcard jack. Otherwise only 1 channel will work. Also that you have the right cable. The cable that goes from your speakers to the computer should look like regular headphone type plugs on the end, but with two black bands, not one. If you bought it new, cant you get an exchange? Check the warranty, otherwise check your cable. Also check your Mixer settings for your soundcard and make sure both speakers are selected.
I think this is due to the volume u set it on, if u put the volume to the max it can distort the speakers, try it wen the volume is low or get more powerful speakers (watts)
I'm all the same thing with you. I cut the cable to the speakers and tape them all together. Now this was working and one day they all just tweeted. My amp doesn't respond anymore only the one in the box I now connect my phone to play music . I woundered what happened I try to buy I a new cable taped them again and it worked again for a little while. So I tried direct contact from the speaker to my computer and that doesn't work either but my computer alone plays music. I think my speakers need the amp. In the end I think I tripped over the cable and it messed up the plug to the speakers cause like I said only the speaker in the amp works. god these things are so expensive and cheap at the same time sorry.
