Yikes so tell me it tripped the fuse breakers? Any over load would blow a fuse long before damaging the outlet which can occur over long periods of time and basically means the outlet is wearing or worn out and short circuits.

There's two outlets that work in this room and two that don't. The adjacent bedroom also has two that work and two that don't but that room is not on the same breaker so I'm totally confused.
The other outlet in the room with the computer did work until I plugged in the subwoofer and now it's dead.

Go find the GFI likely these are shared with a outlet in a bathroom or kitchen which has been tripped? For sure return the speaker system and good luck traking the GFI down....it's somewhere in the house/apartment.Last edited by linnemeyerhere; 21 Sep 2014 at 10:43.

You were right. It was the GFI in the hall bathroom right across nearly from that bedroom where the computer is. The thing is, what caused this? If I plug that sub woofer in again will it knock it out again? that's what happened when I plugged it into the one good receptacle and when I turned the speakers on no power light on the speaker and no power at that receptacle.

sounds like a short in speaker and if its tripping the GFI I would return them for a replacement.

A short is all it could be and it's in the speaker power cable or amplifier somewhere, just don't bother unless the power cord is detachable and you can test with another cable?.....worst that will happen is the circuits will trip again. In the end it's the fault of the speaker system and time to track it down or best exchange it or RMA it. Good luck and glad you switched power back on!

I'm keeping an eye out on this real closely. It makes me a bit nervous wondering how or why that GFI is tied somehow into those receptacles. All was well this morning but again, I'm watching it.

That does sound very odd if your speakers are also tripping a gfi outlet. If that is the case it does to me sound like a short in either the power supply and or one or both speakers. But generally speaking; speakers should not cause a gfi outlet to trip. Are your speakers plugged into a power strip which is plugged into the gfi outlet? If thats the case it could possibly be the power strip even if it doesnt affect the computer itself. That one outlet on the strip could be bad; so you could try another outlet if thats the case.

The sub woofer is plugged into a standard wall outlet-no power strip or GFI outlet. It's odd, I know.

What other electronic devices if any are near your speakers besides the computer itself? Also; have you tried rebooting the system to see if the sound goes away? Because a lot of nearby devices can cause interference at times.
