My subwoofer does not work. it only hums at like 100 hz.
it also does not play any music. even if i crank the volume of my computer.
what could this be?
link to the sound it makes: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99458657/Recording.m4a
yes, the humming is pretty loud. 50 db at 1 meter distance from the port

btw I am using the speedlink gravity thunder 2.1 system's subwoofer.

Thanks in advance :)

If the sub isn't connected to anything else except power (assuming it has its own amp and power) and it's still making a noise that isn't a good sign, suggests something is faulty in the amp most likely
