Why is there no sound coming from my Altec Lansing Docking Speakers?
- D
  Danielle WilliamsAug 15, 2025
  There might be several reasons for the lack of sound. First, ensure the power is on and the universal power supply cord is properly connected to both the wall outlet and the power supply jack. Also, the volume might be set too low, so try increasing it using the '+' button. Check that your iPod is correctly seated in the docking station, or if you're using a 3.5mm stereo cable, verify it's securely connected to both the audio source and the correct output, such as 'line-out,' 'audio-out,' or the headphone jack. Finally, the problem might be with the audio source itself, so test the speakers with another audio source.

How to fix Altec Lansing inMotion iM3 Docking Speakers when the power LED is not lit in AC Operation?
- R
  Richard MillerAug 18, 2025
  If the power LED isn't lit during AC operation, check these potential causes: Ensure the universal power supply cord is properly connected to a functioning wall outlet and plugged into the power supply jack on the back of the system. If you're using a surge protector, make sure it's switched on. Test the wall outlet with another device to confirm it's working. Also, verify that the power switch is in the 'On' position and the stand-by button is pressed (the LED should turn green).

Why is the sound distorted on my Altec Lansing inMotion iM3?
- C
  crystalbarrettAug 25, 2025
  Sound distortion can occur if the volume level on the system is too high; try decreasing it using the '-' button. Also, the distortion may be due to the sound source being of poor quality. Try a different audio source, such as a music CD, to see if the issue persists. Some file types like WAV and .MID are often of poor quality.

How to stop crackling sounds from Altec Lansing Docking Speakers?
- T
  Thomas DorseyAug 27, 2025
  A crackling sound from the speakers can often be attributed to a bad connection. Check the connection if your iPod is in the docking station. If you're using a 3.5mm stereo cable, ensure it's properly connected to the 'line-out,' 'audio-out,' or the headphone jack on your sound card or audio source, and not the 'speaker-out.' If the problem persists, the issue might be with your audio source. Try unplugging the 3.5mm stereo cable from your current audio source and plugging it into the headphone jack of an alternate source, such as a Walkman, Discman, or FM radio.
