Mine dont work my pc wont recognize them. they were previously installed and now the driver isnt recognized. how do i fix it? do i download something?

yes bad bord so cheap on these u can kick bass out like u wanna best bet referb kilspsh on ebay 70 bucks bass on them rocks ok

check where its plug in the back check your volume make sure its not on mute

YES!!...........

select start button/programs/accessories/entertainment/volume control/in the volume control options select windows default.Then automatically your speakers will be get detected and will start working properley...

so what you want to do is have both the parts play on both the speakers on the same time, am i correct?? was there a utility or program that came with your speakers that may have proporties to change this setting??

you cannot plug the phono jack directly into the motherboard, there needs to be another piece that you can add, it has a yellow speaker sticker that you install into the computer, onto the motherboard. it is not an add-on card, but an accessory you can buy. this is because the speakers are self-powered, meaning that they need power from the motherboard instead of an AC adapter

Hi, Aurimasmb
Happy Holidays!
Well, first of all, you have to see what kind of voltage got there, if is 220 or 110 etc, then you have to put your adapter on your speakers and see the AMP too. (amperage of your speakers)
then you can hit the road!
good luck

The contacts on the volume control (potentiometer) get oxidized over time on any analog rotary volume control. With the power off, crank the volume control back and forth real fast for a minute or two, this will do the most cleaning of the contacts that you can do without access to the insides. Ultimately you'll probably need to sprary some tuner wash/tuner cleaner or other electronic parts cleaner in the know (with the electricity disconnected) and then work the knob back and forth. Tuner wash bottles are available at electronic specialty stores or radio shack and usually have a long extension tube (like what comes with WD40). You might be surprised where you can reach with the extension tube.

I don't know if you will see this or not, your post was 2 years ago. I have the same problem. My volume is stuck at 24. I have tried soft-reset........among other things. One thread says to turn volume down to 00 then press for 10 seconds. I have no control over the volume, so, yeah, thanks for that fix. I found that I could get the volume down by unplugging it,plugging it back in and sometimes the volume would pop up and I could turn it down one notch. I did it till I got to 00.............thought AHA! My problem is solved! No such luck. When I press the volume at 00 and try to hold it for 10 seconds, after 3-5 seconds it just pops back to the station frequency. I also thought that if I could get into the guts and spray the volume control with tuner-cleaner, it might help. No go.......after taking off the cover, I found a bunch of REALLY delicate looking electrical tapes and wires..........I was scared I would destroy something in an attempt to reach the volume control. I hate to trash this radio, the sound is awesome...............great design on the speaker, NASTY design on the controls. I'd be VERY interested to know if anyone, anywhere, has found a fix for this. I think maybe my next step will be hitting it with a hammer.

You may have to replace the zener with an equivalent having a heftier current rating.

donaldws1018 I was wondering if the static problem was resolved yet. I have a pair of the VR970's that don't sound so good either.

You can buy a substitute remote control in eBay or Amazon.com
