Static on one speaker

[Patrick Wolf]

I have the Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 (not Ultra) speaker system and an SB Audigy. There both 3 years old now. When I crank the volume up to about 70 I get static on my front left speaker. The higher I go the louder the static gets. I tried switching the speakers and the wires with the speakers and all kinds of things to figure out what was causing this. I found out my speakers were fine.

So if it's not the speaker(s), maybe it's the subwoofer, or the sound card, or something else. What could be causing this?

do you have the speakers pluged in to a power strip, surg protector.PLug it to the wall directly. I also have this problem awilre ago but it came back l think its interfernce.

I tried plugging it into the outlet but there was still static. When I bang the back of my subwoofer on the floor (bad idea, I know) the amount of static changes. And when I have a big bass song playing at 70 volume banging the s**t out of the woofer, then stop the song, there's no static for a couple seconds. but then it comes back

Soo yeah, it's probably the subwoofer to blame.
