    Misty,

    Welcome!

    We certainly can't have a "pissed off little girl" on here, can we!

    Have you tried hooking them up to a personal CD player or something? See if it does the same thing on that as well.

    Mistyraindrops,

    Now that is a cool **** name........why didn't I think of that one?

    I'm thinking that your overdriving them with line level,but I don't think thats the problem,check your connections and wires.The built in amps might be bad,sounds like right from the get go.....Yes call Polk on this, they will help you.

    The speakers may not be at fault. It may be the sound board in your PC. The only way I know to test this easily is to hook up another set of speakers to the PC and see if the problem disappears. It could also be a problem with the DVD drive in your PC as well.
