Could be dirt and/or possibly worn out contact on the slider (inside the volume control potentiometer). Try referring this website to fix that issue: Creative Gigaworks T3 Volume Fluctuating Problems. Contact cleaner is required (and possibly soldering equipment may be required as well, to reach the potentiometer holes hidden under the circuit board). If the problem still persists after that, then you may want to PM me for repairs... icon_rolleyes.gif

That does not sound like potentiometer problem (which is usually scratchy, crackling and intermittent). Could be some internal problems inside the subwoofer itself... hmm.gif

yalor....and the subwoofer and the speaker also have these kind of noise

Well, its not a simple potentiometer problem that can be fixed via some help or guidance online. If you're not familiar with electronics troubleshooting and/or repair, then (as mentioned earlier) you could send it me (use the PM for information) though may take some time as I have several other repairs in tow... hmm.gif
