Hello to everyone first!
And thank to any1 who reads this post of mine - namely, I am so desperate that I no longer know what to do!
The situation is as follows:
I'm not a "connoisseur" on this topic, I get some basics, but that's about it - a noob you could say.
I have this 2.1 speaker system:
and it is connected to a pc, specifically to a sound card integrated into this MSI motherboard:
via this digital audio coaxial cable:
More precisely, from the soudcard, a audio tosslink cable goes to this converter:
https://www.ms-zagreb.hr/hr/proizvodi/1/50/opticki-konverter-adapteri-konektori-toslink.htm
(it is the one on the bottom of the page)
to which the digital coax cable is then connected and then it goes to the subwoofer (into which the satellites are plugged in, of course).
What is happening:
1. First - Sometimes the woofer starts to "growl" out of pure peace, sometimes quieter, sometimes louder (I read that it can be "overpowering" or "underpowering" of the amplifier)
2. The second and most annoying problem is that a loud "click" sound is often heard from the speaker, such as when you suddenly pull out the power supply from the speaker system. This happens when for example youtube is opend, or spotify started,
BUT it is not always heard.
The following example works best to "paint the picture": Let's say I start netflix or youtube and click pause, after one minute of two that "click" is heard and then it is heard again when the pause is removed, but if within that mentioned minute two the pause is removed, everything will be in ok and you won't hear that "click" sound.
To me, as a layman, it seems that after some time (a minute or two) that the signal "stops coming" to the speakers (pause, finished song, etc.), this "click" happens and then when the signal "starts" comming again to the speakers, a "click" is heard again.
I don’t know if it’s up to the aforementioned converter or something with an amplifier in the woofer or something third (speakers are no good !?).
Otherwise, when I connect the system to the TV with a digital coax cable
this is the tv:
and it is connected via a hdmi cable to the pc, everything is ok more or less. Here and there as the sound comes out of the speakers you hear a slight “zigzag” in style like when a record cracks on a turntable, it’s not scary but it happens regularly.
N.B. the first mentioned "click" is also heard when, for example (when the speakers are connected to the TV), I switch the source on the TV from PC to another HDMI input.
Please if anyone knows where to start researching / repairing I would be immensely grateful !!!
It's not a cable thing because I have another cable of the same type, which came with the speakers, and the same thing happens, and everything is (almost) ok when the speakers are connected with a dig.coax cable to the TV, as I described above.
I hope I didn’t complicate the explanation of the problem too much!
Thank you all in advance!
Greeting!!

I have this 2.1 speaker system:

The Creative MegaWorks 250D-THX 2.1 speakers have been out for almost three years, and it is a testament to their quality that they hold up as the best set of 2.1 speakers on the market. You'll also like the price, which makes these speakers for gamers and picky audio types the most affordable...
