Hi there,

I have a Creative DTT2200 6.1 Sound system that I have bought a few years ago. It have worked fine up until a few weeks ago. Now during playback, the sound goes up and down sudenly without touching the volume knob. I have checked the main board and power supply, thinking the problem could be located in one of the many electrolitic capacitors that might have been damage (for example liking fluid out or with the top expanded) but no capacitor is damaged. Does any one have a clue what the problem is?

Please post reply in this news or send me email to the above adress.

Thanks a lot.

Capacitors can fail without visible damage. But this "sounds" more
like an intermittent and/or aground problem. Try cleaning the controls
and looking hard at any interconnects. You also may have a cold-solder
somewhere. Can you make it happen by tapping the unit from various
angles, or shaking it, or tapping the controls or connections?
