Contact Apple. You are still under the warranty period and it should be considered a manufacturing defect.

Are you sure that the yellow cable doesn't just go to the Wii connector on the other end? The PS3 and 360 ends might only be hooked up to the audio and component side of the cable.

OK this is the sort of thing you are after: http://www.superfi.co.uk/index.cfm/page/moreinfo.cfm/Product_ID/4027 The inputs you need are as follows: 1 optical input, 1 pair of RCA(red and white) input. This will take the sound from your PC and Wii and output them to the surround speakers. So to recap, you will need: 1 home theatre system like above with the listed inputs, and 1 optical cable.

I doubt you will get any new answers here. You basically have three options for mitigating the effects of power spikes, surges and anomalies. A surge protected extension lead, a UPS power supply or a device similar to the one mentioned in your other thread. If you aren't going to take any of the advice that people are giving out to you then contact a qualified electrician so they can conduct an independent test of your electrical supply. As for the sub, if it's under warranty, send it back. If it's not then find someone to test and repair it.

You should probably look into the larger problem if you aren't willing to invest in someting like the above. What have you got plugged in that's affecting the entire upststairs floor of your house's electricity supply. I have, running at the same time, A projector, an amplifier and 5.1 speakers, a PC and a heater. Now all together they take roughly 2.5KW and they are all running off two plug sockets with absolutely no trouble. If there truly is a problem with your sockets not delivering enough power then it should be affecting more than just your PC and sub.

http://www.memory-express.co.uk/index.aspx?pageid=17&id=805087&utm_campaign=froogle&utm_source=Froogle&utm_medium=lead&utm_content=Panasonic+SC-PT467+Home+Theatre+System

This type of system is an easy option to get decent quality sound output from a PC in 5 or 7.1 channels and can be used for other things too.

Another option is to get a soundcard with RCA output and then hook that up to a Hi-Fi (home stereo system). Most, even the cheapest ones, have an auxiliary input or two.

Yet another option would be to get a 3.5mm to 2 phono connector cable and do the same as above without having to get a sound card or even with a new soundcard too.

Those are listed in preference order from top to bottom. If you let me know what country you live in and what sort of budget you have I can find some links in the right area etc for all three options.

I tend to go for this option when I need sound from my PC rather than a PC specific set of speakers as it is much more versatile. For instance: I have a surround system similar to the one linked to in my post and I have a PC, my Xbox 360, and a DAB radio hooked up to it. I can also get music from portable devices via an FM transmitter, all without changing any cables over etc.

Looks like that motherboard has an optical output, correct? If so, buy an external amplifier with optical input, get yourself some decent hifi speakers. That's pretty much the best sound you could get out of your PC.

Having too little power shouldn't blow out a fuse as they blow because power is too high. If you had too little power then the device would probably not function.

There is no noticeable bandwidth drop when using wireless security. Someone using your connection to download things over P2P? That's going to make a difference. If you have files shared on the network anyone will have full and open access to change/delete them and also to upload new files. Bane_v2 has the right idea and I'll bet he (or she) doesn't notice any real drop in speed.

Have you forwarded the correct ports for Xbox Live on your router? If so I would say it's down to the Internet connection.
