    Hello

    I have AL FX6021 2.1 speakers in my room and I want to connect them to my PS2. Unfortunately, there's a lot of distortion (crackling/humming coming from the subwoofer). Anyone any idea what causes this? All other devices work perfectly with the speakers.

    With kind regards

    Your little sister punched holes in your sub woofer and filled it with quarters.

    interference or the connection to subwoofer is loose/shot.

    Problem solved. Seems that the plastic on the PS2 cables was too thick to fit correctly. I removed some plastic and it works now.
    Is it dangerous to remove the isolation plastic?
