Why do the satellite speakers “crackle?”
Please disconnect your Teufel speaker system from your PC and any other devices attached to it and listen for the “crackling” sound to stop. Another test you can perform is plugging your speaker system into a different power outlet in another room. If the crackling continues, swap the channel positions of the satellite speakers to find out if the problem is being generated by the speakers or the electronics of the amplifier. If a satellite speaker consistently crackles, then the speaker itself is defective. But if the crackling occurs on one channel regardless of what speaker is connected to it, then the problem likely has to do with the electronics of the amplifier. top • I am using the system with Windows 7 or Vista, and the loudspeakers (satellites and subwoofer) go completely silent when I start common programs like iTunes or Internet Explorer.
