Hi Duncan,
I didn't realize there were 2 control units for the ProMedia 5.1s. Mine has
4 knobs if I recall correclty (1 big one and 3 smaller ones). It's a very
jerky volume control that I simply hate. I suppose the signal coming out of
it could be amiss, or it could be the amp in teh subbox is dead. I can't
tell. The control unit is lit and appears o be working. The subbox doesn't
seem to be generating any heat, so I don't get much feel for what it's
doing. I know sound is coming from the computer as I put a set of cheapo
speakers on and I can hear sound fine. I might go ahead and open this puppy
to see what I can see inside. Thx for the input.
