Speakers cutting out during "loud" volumes :mad:

So I got some new fancy speakers for Christmas. Until now I've been using my headphones so I never noticed because this problem doesn't happen while the headphones are plugged in.

During "louder" portions of music, the speakers just cut out entirely - no sound. Then they come back when they deem the music to not be too loud. Turning the volume down on the speakers solves this problem. I've gone back and played the section of music again at the lower volume setting and it'll come through the speakers. This is okay until an even louder passage of music comes along and the speakers have to be turned down further. This is especially troublesome since the speakers aren't turned up that loud to begin with so I might as well just use headphones so I can actually hear things again.

I've tried different soundcards, same problem. I've tried different speakers, the problem is gone, so it is definitely the new speakers. I googled, and, no luck. I contacted customer support and surprise surprise, no luck. They told me the problem is with my soundcard. I tried a total of three (two on this computer, one on a different computer)

Maybe a loose wire somewhere that vibrates too much when the music is louder. Try turning on the music or just sound in general and feel around the wires until the music cuts out (if it does at all when you're messing with the wires). Then you can just get some wire from Radioshack and splice it =o lol, or get new new speakers. haha.

Or it's not that at all, and I don't have a clue then.

Are they passive or active?

is "shitty" passive or active?

Doesn't mean his speakers are shitty in general, you know OCCASIONALLY shit happens in transit or just come like that.
