Hey, hoping I could find one of those many craftsmen we have lurking or if anyone has ideas about what to do with a somewhat pricey pair of speakers I'm having problems with.
It's a set of Razor Mako 2.1 speakers. 2 THX sound pods that hook up to a center Sub. Attaches to computer just by a standard jack. (Not a usb/hdmi or whatever fancy connectors they have these days.) Support for Razor sucks to start and this is discontinued a few years back.
My problem is that the sound if I turn it on is fine for about 10 seconds then it goes silent with a rhymic pop or snap. (Not sharp but I wouldnt quite call it a thump either.) From a lot of online googling many had the same problem and seemed to be linked to the control pod/corded remote. Some had luck just simply opening it up and closing it, some tinkered with stuff, others that did nothing for them. It did this once like when I first had it and it fixed itself. I've left it off and alone for a month but alas no luck. One of the fixes I think I read was disabling/unwiring the headset or line in hookup actually? Seemed strange but I have 0 electrical knowledge, I hate even jumping a car.
I've had a small crappy set of ancient speakers I've used with my headset hooked into them but it's just not nearly as good. Don't have the cash to run out to buy another $300 set of speakers but miss the sound.
Is it realistic to try and get these repaired for like $50? Since I get the sound clear for a bit I'd think all the sound stuff is good, just some capacitor or other stupid bits gone bad?
