Static from Klipch Promedia 4.1 speakers

[budbugsy]

So I woke up at 2 AM to the sound of loud static coming from my speakers!

My computer was off at the time so I killed the power on my surge suppressor, then started checking wires for a short but did not find anything.
Next I unplugged the power to the speakers and powered every thing else up. My computer and every thing is working fine, so I plugged the speakers back in and got more static. I then unplugged the speakers from the computer and tried again, still more static.

Next I tried power from a different source but that did not work.
The statics coming from mostly the right front speaker but I can hear it on the others too.
I tried rearranging the speakers but that did not work ether.

I have had my klispch Promedia 4.1 speakers for about 8-10 years and they have always given me great sound. I would really like to try and fix them and any help would be appreciated.

Sometimes static can come from a dirty volume pot. Turn everything off and swing the volume on the Klipsch knob all the way down and all the way up 10 times. Or you could spray a bit of electrical contact cleaner in there, and repeat the above steps.

I only have the 2.1s but lucky for me mine are still going strong after 5+ years. Hope it's nothing too serious.

I tried spinning all the dials 10 times but no change.

What are you using as your source?

Similar thing happened to my 10 yr-old Promedia 4.1 set. Mine didn't even output sound anymore. Figured it just died. I'm not too sad though; figured 10yrs of service was above the average..

I'm not using anything. I get the static with nothing plugged in but the power to the surge protector.
