Hi,

a couple of months ago, I bought myself the following 2.1 speaker system:
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/speakers-audio/home-pc-speakers/speaker-system-z323

They worked fine the whole time until one day, when they just wouldn't turn on anymore. So I sent them back and got a replacement. But now I have a really weird problem with this new system:

When I turn the system off, the speakers continuously emit a popping sound every couple of seconds. Turning them off and on again doesn't help and they do it indefinitely (at least they were still doing it after 5 minutes^^). When I unplug them from the back of my PC and plug them right back in, the popping is gone and they work as intended. When I then turn them off and on again, the popping is back and I have to re-unplug and plug them to make it go away. So everytime I turn my speakers on, I have to unplug them for a second, or else they will pop all the time.

The speakers are standing freely on my desk, touching nothing else. The cables are hanging loosely behind the desk at the wall. The subwoofer is under my desk on the floor, also touching nothing else.

Should I just send them back again and hope the next system will be fine again, or is there something wrong with my PC somehow? I hope that there is a quick-fix I can do myself, because sending them back and waiting for a new system takes about a month and I don't want to have no sound for a month lol.

I will be grateful for any help :)
