My Dell subwoofer system is playing up, no sound from the left speaker. Got this for more than 10+ years. Yes, I have checked the cables, thinking it could be a loose connection but no. Think of some electronic failure. Appreciate advice from those who have used a similar system for me to try it out.

Plan to replace it as I like good sound while using my PC. Which system/brand would you recommend?

Thanks.

Logitech Z625 is a good option

been using that for years now on my PS4 and Desktop setup.

powerful yet clear and good sound staging.

Value for money + excellent sound will be the Edifier 2.1 system

No longer using PC speaker with subwoofer for very long time except TV

PC speaker can get something like edifier r1700bt should be more than enough unless you looking for something else probably like sono, boss etc etc.

Thanks to all for your replies.

My budget is only RM300. Really wish I could get my existing left speaker back to life. The sound from this system is surprisingly good.

First thing to check, is there a signal going to that speaker. Plan to cut the wire and hook it up to another speaker and see.

Buy a 2.1 amplifier board
Rm30 settle.

interesting. More infor please.

for me edifier would be the best choice

thanks.

tq

300 u want altec lansing cs21 or not.
been parking some years after i move house. keep in box only

U didnt use for few years? Good luck with that...

No thanks.

If 300 budget, can't expect Edifier

Perhaps Vinnfier you can get 2.1 for that budget

Sound quality not bad, but will not be able to match Edifier

better invest something worth like edifier , pay bit more get better stuff

im using EVO7Pro .. very good and cheap, its quite old model unless you can get it from online ..

I was going to get Evo 11 Pro, looks impressive for the price. But later decided on Pana SFK100 as this has a CD player. More convenient if I want to use a CD for my drumming. Ha. I have ordered one.

Good news, managed to solve my no-sound from the left speaker problem.

It was an accidental discovery. I moved my right speaker and it shut down my PC. Investigated and thought it was the 3.5 mm plug to my LG monitor (PC to monitor via HDMI), then to the subwoofer box, and the 2 speakers. Possible short circuit when moving the speaker, shutting down the PC.

That 3.5 mm plug did not plug in tightly. Maybe it is a 3.0 mm plug? Or maybe from the past 20 yrs of use, tear and wear?

Using wired headphones to LG monitor, can get both left and right sound. So the problem is not from the PC.

Bought a cable with 2 x 3.5 mm plugs. Cut and reconnected the tiny wires. Bingo, music on both speakers now!

I was afraid the problem was in the PC motherboard or the subwoofer electronic. That will be outside my DIY knowledge and skills.

Finally.
