Default adapter problem - help !

Hi all,


I have a creative surroundsound system connected to my computer.
A few days ago the adapter stopped working. So i bought a new adapter with
the same specs.


Original adapter: 12V AC , 4.2A max
New adapter : 12V AC , 6A max


I took the plug and connected the 2 wires from the new adapter to the plug,
brown and blue wire. Then i shielded them with special tape.


When i plug into the subwoofer i get alot of noise through all speakers,
sounds like tearing alot of paper. So i quickly unplugged it.




Now guys, what did i do wrong ?


If for example the new adapter outputs not 12V but 13.8V ... could that be
causing this problem ?




Thank you for any advise !
