Hello all,
I sort of hyjacked another thread so I thought I should start a new one for my problem specifically.
I have an old Creative Inspire 2400 2.1 channel speakers for my pc but the volume control pot went out. I opened the volume control and it looks to be a standard 6 pin pot. A wire goes from my pc to the volume control to the sub to both the left and right channels. In the pot, I have six wires, red, white and black from pc and red, white and black to the sub.
Do you think it would be as easy as removing the pot completely by putting the red, white and black together directly (individually, of course)? From the previous thread, it seems the black is the common.
From the other thread it seems the OP actually did it but he didn't label the speaker set he had specifically and I don't want to redo what he did in case I'll fry out my speakers.
Thoughts? Oh, and I am a complete and total noob with most electronics.
Thanks!
