    Cambridge DTT2500 5.1 system

    Hi,
    I have the above sound system plumbed into my PC and it has recently developed a couple of problems that may be related. They are:

    1. I get intermittent, almost regular low frequency 'clicking' noises through the speakers. Sometimes it doesn't happen at all, other times it clicks about every 2 seconds but its variable. I can hear this even when not connected to the PC.

    2. When I'm listening to music or watching a web broadcast it usually starts off ok, but then the sound keeps cutting out for maybe 2 seconds at a time and this also can become quite regular.

    Needless to say its driving me nuts. I've connected headphones to the PC and the sound is fine through those and I'm pretty sure the speakers themselves are ok too.

    I'm reluctant to junk the system since its served me well and the sound quality is great. Having said that I'm not very technical and I'm wondering if there is a solution to this and if it could be repaired (I'm in the UK).

    Any thoughts or help would be appreciated. Thanks.

      If it's anything like the Creative Gigaworks i've worked on, they tend to develop cold joints on the amplifier ICs, and resoldering them is all that's needed.

      Anyway, you're gonna have to pop it open and have a look inside the plate amplifier located on the back of the subwoofer.

      A working TV? How boring!

          what i went through dealing with my mobo with dead onboard sound!
          by ChaosLegionnaire
          so i took out one of my spare gigabyte ep35-ds3r mobos from storage for use to do some cpu, ram and video card testing of stuff i bought from ebay and got for free from momaka. he bought 50 e8400 cpus for cheap from ebay some years ago and i decided to help him relieve him of some of his supply since he had waaaay too many!! what did we say about hoarding too much stuff and depriving others of them?! *cough* socialism *cough* lol!

          i had to blow some dust off the board and heatsinks with the datavac as i didnt clean it up before putting it in storage. after finishing...

          Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB (Chassis SR) TV Repair Help - Distorted Subwoofer Sound and overall weird sound waveforms
          by LEECH666
          Good day ladies and gentleman!

          I am currently trying to repair a Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB LCD TV for a friend that has a weird audio problem. Basically everything works fine except for the heavily distorted sound when the Subwoofer module is connected and there is a buzzing sound coming from the PSU PCB.

          This seems to be a rather rare TV so there is not much prior on topic help to be found however a service manual is available at the usual sources (Electro Tanya i.e.).

          I think the PSU buzzing comes from one of the coils near the bridge rectifier but...

          Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 - Power Supply
          by smurtz
          I have here a Cambbridge Audio Stream Magic 6 which does not power on.
          When opening the case the PSU appears to be faulty:



          IC1 (ICE3BR0665J), D2, the rectifier bridge, C15,C16 are dead and T2 is fried:




          I found the schematics of the PSU in the cambridge Audio CXN Service guide which uses the same:
          My problem is that I cannot find any info on T2 (SG01323) which seems to be a choke. Anyone knows how I can find a replacement & the value of that choke ?





          Thanks very much in advance...

          Marian Trace Alpha sound card repair help
          by Christos Tsiligiannis
          Hello to the forum.

          My name is Christos, I am new to the forum here and i am posting from Greece.

          So i have this old German sound card from Marian, called Trace Alpha. To be exact i have 2 of them and i use them professionally for my small FM radio station here. The first one works like a charm, but the second one does not work at all.

          To be more specific in the same exact pc with windows 7 (i even tried 32bit) the one works while the other doesn't.

          So i tried asking for a schematic from the company and they would not give me one. Instead they...
