PC Speakers / Ampilier - No Output from Left Channel



Hi,

I have an Creative I-Trigue® 2.1 3300 setup on my PC which has developed a fault i.e. no output from the left channel.

The amp is built into the subwoofer, so the power cord, volume control/headphone socket and speakers all connect to the back of the subwoofer.

As I said the left channel output from the system has gone completely dead - both for the speaker output AND the headphone output, so I assume a component on the circuit board has died.
I have tried them in a different PC and the left channel is still dead.


Unfortunately the product is outside its warranty period, and the local repair shop charge nearly half of what I paid for the system, just to have a look !

I have searched the Creative support forum and it looks like a few people have had the same issue, but ended up getting replacements under the warranty.

I appreciate this is a bit of a stab in the dark without the schematics, but can anyone suggest what might be at fault, going by the fault description ?

Thanks for any help.

Mark.
