Hello all,

I have a Polk Audio Subwoofer which is about 10 years old (model PSW505) however for some reason it no longer outputs any sound other then this annoying humming sound. When I unplug the yellow audio cable from the subwoofer side the humming stops but as soon as I plug it in it starts again. Not a huge audio guy so would appreciate if anyone had any ideas as to what's causing this or if it's fixable.

Thanks,

Update: I did some more testing and the subwoofer automatically turns on and starts humming when I play music so it must be getting some sort of input right? I'm certain it's not doing anything besides humming, not sure why this I'd.

I'm going to try the yellow wire first. I don't believe it's the amplifier because if I remove the yellow wire from the amplifier the sub continues humming, it only stops when the cable is removed Subwoofer side. I'll try this and see what happens.
