Please Help! Creative Inspire 6.1 6600

Question

i've had this speaker system for quite some time, but now my subwoofer doesn't work. i've done the noise/channel test through thx and creative and they both give me the same results. all 6 speakers work, but the subwoofer doesn't. so i attempted in the callibration. all went good until the bass/subwoofer section, the sound went jumpy and squeled so loudly. i've checked all wires, but still no results. still doesn't work.
if this could relate to the sound card, well the current sound card i'm using is SB Audigy 2 ZS.
thx for ur help

Just a piece of advice.. Never buy creative speakers. I have 2 friends who had their creative speakers damaged in month. And my 6.1 6600 damaged in 6 months time, (I didn't use it for 3 months in the middle). In my case, the speakers start to produce weird sound, and sometimes there's signal going through, sometimes there no signal.
Creative produce good sound cards, but not speakers.. although I do have a lil problem with the soundcard at the moment for the crackle,pop sound during playback of songs when computer is under high load, but i believed it can be fixed with a new driver/software.
I would recommend you Logitect speakers.(logitech has strong bass) some people prefer altec lansing because it has has clear/crisp sound but I think that's only higher treble that's all.
You can have very clear voice on the logitech too just by adjusting the treble level on your audigy2 zs.
I am now using Logitech z5300e and its heaps stronger than 6.1 6600. I would say 6600 is a failure, there isn't much power.. weak sound..you can't enjoy music or movie with that set of speakers
Since you have a good soundcard, I would think that you do enjoy good quality music and movie. To achieve that, I think you would need to change your speakers. Go for z5300 or If you just got that extra money, get Logitech Z5500..
Well, That's just my advice. Good Luck
