  1. Ahhh... so the card has separate RCA outs for the sub and center... I'm pretty sure it has to do with the RCA to minijack adapter you are using. You need to make sure it is a RCA to STEREO minijack adapter, one that wil split the RCA into 2 channels. I think you might be using rca to mono minijack adapter - that would give you only one channel. ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.
  2. Nice except the intro is annoying... I hate intros. ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.
  3. I don't know much about the gametheater, but if it anything like the sb 5.1 or AE the center output is the same as the sub out... the reason you only get center out of one speaker is that one side of the stereo output (left in your case) is the center, the right is the sub. What you need to do is get a stereo to 2x mono splitter which will separate the center(left) signal, then plug your 2.1 into that. ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.
  4. My friend had the same setup with cambridge dtt2500, and he put the rear speakers sideways (facing in) as far back as they could go. Sounded pretty good that way. ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.
  5. You can however remove the control pod from the sat and put it wherever you want... like under the monitor, or in a 3.5" drive bay. ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.
  6. I noticed the same thing when watching movies. I changed my rear speaker placement and it helped a bit... but it seems to me a lot of movies do not make good use of the rear channels. ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.
  7. make sure 'digital output only' is not checked in the surround mixer. You can also find it in the windows volume controls, in 'advanced' under the main volume. The digital out port is also the rear speaker (black) port. ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.
  8. Green plug -> green output Purple plug -> black output ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.
  9. Use sandpaper to carefully make the mounting piece smaller - less chance of ****ing up than by cutting. ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.
  10. He he I must be deaf then... ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.
  11. Win DVD does not decode DTS. You probably have the 2 channel version. Go to help > about, see if it says WinDVD 2.X Multichannel. ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.
  12. See if the mounting piece on the CP1 is the same size as your old preamp. ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.
  13. Try local computer stores - there were a few here in ottawa that sold them, even though they weren't Klipsch dealers. Electronics stores usually rip you off. ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.
  14. Where? ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.
  15. If I were to replace my 4.00's I would buy 4.2. My choice would be based solely on the info I've read, though, since i haven't heard either 4.1 or 4.2 ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.
  16. When I used windows 98 and ME I had all windows volumes at 100%, and could still max the pros with most songs and movies without getting distortion. After I went to win2k I keep main vol at about 70%, and anything over 80% on the pros volume is too loud. I have a sblive original. ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.
  17. In power dvd select "4 speaker output" if u use powerdvd that means you're bypassing the dxr2 altogether. ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.
  18. Don't think that will help... It is really noticeable when playing the game Starlancer, while you're walking around in the halls or sitting in your cabin there is a lot of port noise coming from the sub. ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.
  19. The problem is your dxr2 does not do 4 speaker downmixing. It can only do 5.1 when connected to an external decoder. So to get 4 channel surround sound you need to either get an external dd decoder such as the midiland ads2000, or get rid of the dxr2 altogether and use a software dvd decoder, if your machine is fast enough. I don't know if the new 5.1 soundblasters would be able to help you - they do dd decoding to 4 speakers, but I don't know it they work with the dxr2. ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.
  20. Just listened to the woofer cooker track and almost all the continuous low bass produces quite a bit of port noise. The sub moves a LOT of air, I can feel it about 10 feet from the sub, but it just sounds like gurgling... Same thing happens at the very end of the track when the frequency goes down - I guess there is a certain frequence at (or below) which all I get is a lot of air movement and port noise. ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.
  21. Search the forums for a DIN cable extension, then buy one. You will have to solder it to your cp1 though, or cut your damaged cable and splice it in. ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.
  22. Go into control panel -> sounds and multimedia, audio properties, then make sure everything is muted except main and wave volume. ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.
  23. Dat is noh a prohblem sir! Why you kick my dog? http://www.flatplanet.org/miscellaneous/kerpal1.html
  24. AYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RESPECT MY AUTHORITAs>E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!s>
  25. Once you a signal gets converted to mono (by your tv) there is no way to get the stereo information back. ------------------ Caring is the first step toward disappointment.
