How to fix distorted sound on Altec Lansing Speaker System?
- G
  Gabriella DodsonJul 29, 2025
  If the sound from your Altec Lansing Speaker System is distorted, try turning the VOLUME knob counterclockwise to lower the volume. Also, adjust the computer operating system volume and balance levels to the center as a starting point, then fine-tune the speaker level using the volume control. If you are using WAV files, they might be of poor quality; try using a different sound source such as a music CD.

  If the Altec Lansing Speaker System's LEDs are not lit, first ensure the power is on by turning the VOLUME knob on the right speaker until you hear a click. An LED should light up next to the knob. If that doesn't work, check the AC power cord to ensure it's connected to both the wall outlet and the back of the subwoofer. Also, if you're using a surge protector, make sure it's switched on. Finally, test the wall outlet by plugging in another device to confirm it's working.

Why is there no sound coming from my Altec Lansing MX-5020 Speaker System?

  Hannah DawsonAug 8, 2025
  If you're not getting any sound from your Altec Lansing Speaker System, make sure the AC power cord is properly plugged into the wall outlet. Also, check that the volume isn't set too low by turning the VOLUME knob clockwise. Verify the 3.5mm stereo cable is securely connected to the correct jacks on your audio source, specifically the “line-out,” “audio-out,” or headphone jack. To rule out issues with your audio source, test the speakers with another device.

What to do if Altec Lansing MX-5020 has crackling sound?
- J
  Jane RodriguezAug 14, 2025
  If your Altec Lansing Speaker System is producing a crackling sound, check all the cables to ensure they are correctly connected to the “line-out” or “audio-out” jack on your sound card or audio source, and not the “speaker-out” jack. If the volume level in your computer's operating system is too high, decrease it. You can also test by unplugging the stereo cable from your current audio source and plugging it into the headphone jack of an alternate audio source, like a Walkman, Discman, or FM radio.

How to troubleshoot Altec Lansing MX-5020 when no LEDs are lit?
- C
  Christopher HuntAug 18, 2025
  If no LEDs are lit on your Altec Lansing Speaker System, start by turning the VOLUME knob on the right speaker until you hear a click sound, which indicates the power is on. An LED should light up next to the knob. Check that the AC power cord is connected to both the wall outlet and the back of the subwoofer. If you're using a surge protector, make sure it's switched on. To ensure the wall outlet is working, plug another device into the same jack.
