Posted by: superkew Description: I have second hand INSPIRE 6.1 system.Slight issue with volume control but otherwise perfect working order.

Haha, i read your post, and cleaned it with alcohol. I feel stupid, that i did not try this before, always the simplest of things. Ive even emailed creative on this numerous times, they told me to replace the remote, then when i asked for a replacement they gave me some other bs. Well its cleaned, and so far, working beautifully. Thanks bossnoss, with reading your post cleaning with alcohol probably would have never dawned on me. Rijmsdreams: try cleaning the remote volume, take it apart, take the colume knob off and take the little plastic white thing off, clean it good. If kicking, lol, or shaking the sub makes it work better you might have a short in a wire.

That might also explain the crackling noise. Or maybe you blew your sub. As well as the volume problem, i also had another.

My front right speaker is very quite, or dead. Which creative kept trying to tell me was my sound card, hahaha. Which is an audigy 2, lol. But i have sorted this one out and found there IS a short in the rca plug that goes to the back of the sub. $1.50 at radioshack will solve this problem. Thanks again boss.

Gl rijmsdreams, and uh, dont even bother with getting a hold of creative.they are helpless. 'Try replacing the fuse at the back of the subwoofer. If this fails it could be that the speakers need to be sent in here for testing, repair or replacement.' That's what creative tech support says.

Those worthless idiots, no clue. First of all, is there a fuse on the back of the sub? If so, how would that improve my problem. I said that I always have juice supplied. If fuse would be faulty, then the power would be out, the green light on romote. But I so have juice when the speker silence.

And when I tell them that kicking the sub works, then why would I have to send in the speakers? So immediatly after that they said I should send in the system and a month later they could tell me what might be wrong and how much it would cost me.

I did replace the remote, as I wanted to exchange the system overall, till I realized that the other system was a 5.1 one. So I exchenged the romte, but the problem is still there.

I will have to try your lose wire problem solving there. As far as Compusa told me, the product is discontinued. So I hope I can resolve the issue. But the wire thing sounds as if it could be the mistake.

Thanks for advice. Will post results. Ok, ive got one for you guys. Ive had the same problem ever since i got these dam things but it didnt happen all the time. As time went on like maybe about 3 months ago my speakers started poping and making hissing noices but i would mess with the remote and it would go away for about a min or so then return. Just yesterday the LED on the volume control remote went out and the speakers dont work.
