    I bought Edifier s330d for my new comp.

    They work great, but over the time of 1 month of my ownership of them the sub is starting to show some buzzing sound.

    At first week or two there was nothing, but one day the sub started buzzing on and off for a minute or two and then stopped and worked normally.

    Every day that time expands and the sub is making that sound longer and longer, today I'm 20min into speakers on and it's still doing it. Today it was buzzing constantly for like 10min and afterwards it's doing on and off buz for lets say 20sec on and then 10sec off.

    Warranty them.

    Alot of times your subwoofer will hum from other electrical devices in your home. For instance, when my fridge turns on my subwoofer will begin to hum. But your situation sounds like it is the amplifier in the subwoofer rather than a power issue.

    Tyo this is a little off topic but i saw one of your old posts and was wondering how you fixed the spacebar problem on your np8170. the link for the video fix is dead so if you could help me out that would be great.

    Yes this ^^

    Buzzing is typically some interference from some external electronic device. If you've eliminated that as the cause, then its something internal and needs to be repaired or replaced.

    Remove the speaker from its present location and test for the buzz. Faulty wiring and unseated plugs can also cause unwanted buzz/noise.
