Hey there
My stereo was working fine one night, I had a few people over who fiddled with it here and there, but I don't think anything particularly bad happened. However, the next morning when i tried playing music on it, no sound came out of hte speakers. I checked the connection, and it was fine. I tried other CDs, same thing. However, I noticed if I turn the volume up all the way, I can hear a little bit of sound. What does this mean?? I know when speakers blow they sound crackled, but is it possible to blow a speaker so barely any sound comes out? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm dying without this stereo...especially with the new FB on the horizon. |

uhm
is the amplifier/tuner/stereo set on your cd player?
not on tape or Phono/PU or AUX (if that isn't your cd connection)

Hey... perhaps you went deaf during the night. Say something. Can you hear yourself?

LOL Denis. My diagnosis is that obviously the connections aren't correct or something is not set properly. billgoodman pretty much said it. If you can faintly hear it, I would think that something is not properly selected.

| inspect up and down the speaker wires for frays or possible damage; jiggle the wire around and see if it effects the sound at all. It sounds like the wires are touching. |

Here are a two likely scenarios from my own personal late-night experiences:
1) If your receiver has one or two little buttons to select which pair of speakers is on, make sure that they have not both been pushed "off".
2) Make sure your tape monitor has not been engaged (or disengaged, if you were listening to tapes).
Generally, if you turn the volume all the way up and hear a faint signal, you're listening to crosstalk from a different input. This probably means the wrong input has been selected, or the monitor is on, but there's still a little bleed. Make sure you turn the volume back down before you test this theory, or you'll blow your speakers and your ears out if I'm right...
And NEVER, EVER, EVER let anyone touch your stereo again.

Hey TII - what do you think the chances are that BOTH wires were affected?
Bill and Peter summed it up for me. |
