Hello.
Im looking to fix a volume control for my computers surround sound. Its scratchy and wore out. I know how to solder, I know the part I need is a potentiometer. I don't exactly know how to use a voltmeter or where to find this part. From the research I did I measured a 5.3 on the voltmeter set to 20K which im assuming means 53K. But there is no 53k the closest is 50k. I can only measure it one way but the result is a negative number so i'm not sure if that means its linear or not. I do have a ebay account so I could buy the part I need, I just need some kind of guidance on where to find this piece. I've included some pictures so I can help you help me...
Thank You!
