I have a speaker (Yamaha HS7) that was working fine when I left for work this morning, but tonight when I came home and turned it on it as playing very quietly. It's just the right speaker. The left speaker is fine and both run into the subwoofer which then runs to the computer. However, it turns out that if I turn the volume up loud enough past a certain point, the speaker momentarily distort at the volume that it should be and then "snap" into working properly. I can then turn the volume down to normal listening levels and it will continue to work properly unless I turn the speaker down too quietly. This is repeatable. These speakers are pretty new (2 or 3 years old). Does anyone have any idea of what the conceptual problem might be with the speaker?
EDIT: It seems there is a range of volumes just below the volume where the speaker snaps into working properly where the speaker will cut in and out between distortion and silence.
EDIT: Okay, it's not the speaker. The issue followed the right audio cable from the PC that plugs into the subwoofer so it's either the cable itself or my soundcard.
