Subwoofer that smells burnt

Hello,
I’ve had my HP Creative A520 5.1 speakers for 4 years now, which I’ve since converted to 2.1 since I no longer use the other speakers. So with the 2 available speakers and the subwoofer, I normally need to connect the jack to my PC or TV. For once, I wanted to split the RCA connections that link the speakers to the subwoofer to get sound from both the TV and the PC at the same time. It works very well, but after 20 minutes, I smell something burning. It’s not coming from any outlet, but from inside the subwoofer. Am I risking killing the subwoofer?

Hello
If it smells burnt, there's something in your case that's slowly frying.
There must be a short circuit or overvoltage.
Who loves instruction! Find the knowledge that comes from reflection!
P.S. Frequently create a restore point! It solves a fair number of problems. -
Thank you for your response
In any case, regarding the power supply (well, the power input I mean), there is no odor, but it could be the fact of playing 2 different sounds at the same time on the same speakers that "confuses" the subwoofer and creates a short circuit.
