dodgy speakers
2 Answers
My PC speakers make farty noises when I turn the volume switch. Also I only seem to be getting one channel- sometimes I hear only music and no vocals. It's like only one speaker is working. What is the fault and how can I fix it?!

Hi Scarlett,
It sounds like the volume control has become worn out, hence the crackling noise when you turn it up and down. If the speakers are old and / or cheap I'd go out and buy a new pair. If they were expensive then you could try squirting some switch cleaner inside the moving part of the volume control. It may give you a few more weeks crackle free but in the end the volume control will need to be replaced.
For speakers I can recommend these Altec Lansing 1120's very good bass and treble response for around �17.
