Logitech z 5500 - Plays perfectly for 5 minutes, then NOT so perfectly

[ Edited ]

Alright...here goes:

I have a beautiful system...well...it was before this started,

It buzzes....but not just little static happy and normal buzzing..I mean serious buzzing...BUT only after a 5-10 minutes does this buzzing start.

My system can play a song JUST PERFECTLY...so in essence, there is nothing wrong with the speakers, if that makes sense..yet after 5 minutes of crystal clear sound, buzzing starts and then another 2 minutes later...this buzzing JUST GOES INSANE.....super super super loud buzzing....and it increases/decreases with the volume of the system. This buzzing does not go away..unplug any connections and this buzzing continues.ONLY when I mute the system does it stop. I turn it off via SUB switch ,leave it for 5minutes, turn it back on...no buzzing, just silence...even when I turn up the speakers to their max..their is not humming, i play a song.....plays just perfectly......for 5 minutes...and then here we go again...

 

Please help me. I have tried so much. I have put these speakers in an empty room all spread apart in case it was electrical interference or some crap.. didn't solve it. Got a new control pod from logitech...didn't solve it. Played through optical cable and direct cable, didn't solve it. Played connected to my PS3 in case my mac sound card was to blame, didn't solve it. Called logitech support....they were plain useless

 

please please please

 

any suggestions or what

 

I just don't get it. It plays perfectly and this just turns to **bleep**.

Same here i just got these Friday, i get that crackling from the speakers, popping and booming from the Subwoofer. I bought these refurbished from Amazon.com. I am truely frustrated right now becuase I checked the fuse, my connections (wires/plug/control pod/computer inputs) and still no avail. I really do not want to return this item because it sounds so nice, but my experience is tarnished quickly. Please help me and the OP are very desperate.

Hi,

As Logitech does not refurbish speakers, then I am guessing you got them from an end user re-selling the speakers. Your recourse is to deal with the online retailer.

 

Thank you for your post.
