Need a new volume control.

gillywibble · 7 Dec 2008 at 23:51

I have Creative Inspire P380 speakers which have a hardwire volume control which sits on the desktop.

It is starting to fail, so that I can hear the speakers even with the volume control set to zero (i.e. when I only want to use headphones).

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement or something similar that will do the job?

I've spent time searching but haven't come up with anything.

Thanks.

That looks really interesting, but it wouldn't do the job as it would control the overall volume.

What I actually need is a 'wired remote control'. I'll carry on searching, but if anyone knows of anything suitable in the meantime, it would be appreciated.

Incidentally, on the existing one there isn't simply a resistor I can replace.
