Have used 4 years, now right speaker not working. Have re-done wires over and over. Any ideas??? Can a speaker just stop working? Any fix?

Is it the one with the volume knob that's not working? (sorry, I don't have them in front of me). Have you ever replaced capacitors in them? That's what caused mine (and many, many other sets) to die very soon after purchase... but after replacing the bad capacitors they are working like new. Sorry, I don't know what you mean by re-doing the wires.

Jennifer, you haven't provided much information on how you are using the speakers. The speaker with the volume control also has the amplifier imbedded. You probably have the older speakers with the bass boost switch on the backside. the older speakers are known to blow the amplifier, but that kills the sound to both speakers. When I have had Problems with just the right speaker it was always caused by the audio cable or Y connector between the speakers and the audio source. In other words you may not be inputing two channels into the speaker input. Good Luck

You could try looking inside the speakers (specifically the one with the volume knob -- that was where my problem was) and see if the capacitors are the problem. See my previous review of these speakers for more info (http://www.amazon.com/review/R33FG0Y92298KH/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm)If you had these plugged directly into a wall socket at time of power outage (and power restart) then maybe more stuff is fried. Note... in my case the buzzing sound was not caused by a power outage or from heat, but just from crappy capacitors in the speaker. They have been working like new for almost a year now after the fix. Good luck!

We have had no complaints from this speaker before. Did you purchase your speaker on Amazon? I would call JBL tech support.

I've had mine for over a year. About 6 months ago, the cord by the speaker began to break. The copper wire is now exposed (I've taped it) but the speaker still works fine.

Check your Creative Media Source software (Start>Programs) to ensure that you have configured your speakers. Check control panel or use Diagnostics within the Creative software if you cannot resolve the problem as well. If all else fails,Go to Creative website and download the manual if you do not have it. Then check to ensure that you have everything in its proper place. If there is still a problem, you might have a broken wire which you cannot see and I would recommend that you let Creative know so they can fix the problem or offer you a replacement.

I wish. Like I said in my review, one speaker quit in 3 months or maybe a dozen uses. I think it stopped working because sweat got into the charger opening which ended up kind of rusting.

We bought a Bose about 5 years ago and it quickly 'died', that is 3 of the 4 disk player slots read 'error'& won't play. Talking with friends about this & who also own Bose and all have had problems. Myhuspand opened up the system to the wires and found they were crimped apparently when being manufactured. Ask Bose about warranties and what their average lifespan is without problems.

Same issue from my LN46B750 The speakers were replaced along with the mother board....no help. Still on startup....especially after sitting for a while it will buzz for a few seconds and then go away. Have it plugged into a protected power strip.

Sent mine in for this problem. Denon repair (Senergy, I think) said they 'couldn't repair it and had no produt to exchange it with,' so they are giving me a refund. Disappointing, but must agree: cut your losses.

I do not have this problem. It could be just a manufacturing error. I would just contact the company about this issue as I do not have this problem with my speakers.

Speakers don't normally break. Maybe Altec has a driver for your speaker under technical support.Regards

I think it is defective. I had one I had bought about 8 years ago at an Apple Store that I loved. I used it faithfully for my traveling music classes until it quit working about 2 years ago. I found one on Amazon just like it and bought it right away as it was an absolutely wonderful speaker. It lasted about three months and then just quit (right in the middle of one of my classes!) and even from the beginning the sound was nothing like the unit I bought originally. Mine could not be fixed. I really don't have any advice except that I had to buy a new speaker and I did not purchase the same model!! I think it is defective.

I would try contacting customer service at the company that makes the speakers.their name should be on the paperwork that came with the speakers.I hope they can fix or replace them.

Hey HuyI'm not exactly sure why but it could be that this is an older model of the same speaker. Usually if the same model is on sale it is from last or previous years. I hope that this helps and let us know if you have any more questions.Thanks Jane H.Dogfunk Gearhead

Check for a possible short in speaker wires .Maybe a small piece of wire lying across terminals on back of unit. Or possible short in reciever.
