alright guys, just a few more weeks and it will be a full year since hofy's orginal post.

isn't it wierd that "hofy" has 390 replies, yet was only viewed 253 times, maybe that's supposed to be 2530, but i think thats a stretch, ~~~~wierd. J

kaiser, try fading the speakers slighty forward or backward in the philips control panel and see if that enhances the base. some other people have been having problems with that and have found the base to be much better. J

geez, you sure didn't look very hard. try outpost.com, but the new 4.1's are supposed to be coming out at the end of this month so i would wait a few weeks and see what happens J

seb, you using the stock wires or did you upgrade as well?

just about all the locals know this one, but like 2 or 3 months ago, maximumpc hooked up four sets of klipsch 4.1's together to create a 16.4 system (thats 16 freakin satellites with 4 pounding subs for 1600 watts RMS ) i tried to find the link on their page, but i can't seem to, i think its in their november issue. they said that it actually was pretty damn amazing and sounded ungodly loud. Now that deserves a ROCK ON!!! J

Amy is God thanks for the tip, but it seems we already knew that (hint, hint....)

just because you have cd digital enabled and have it connected, doesn't mean its supported by your drive. anyway, alot of drives don't even send the audio thru the cable anymore, most of its transferred over the bus, be it ide or scsi. the regular cd volume would probably control it no matter what, digital or analog. J

lol seb. amy's so sweet, isn't she?

its the drivers probably man, they're not too optimized as of yet. I got a 1ghz pIII overclocked to 1.04 ghz and winamp still skips a bit at high cpu usage times. try going into the yamaha synthesizer options, lower the cpu usage, lower a bunch of the settings and see if that helps. J

Win9x i assume guys? anyway, have you looked in the sysinfo to see what you're irq's are like, if the ae is sharing specific ones, perhaps with a mainboard component. that might have something to do with it, although i think you would get more frequent lock ups. J

are there any problems with the "quality" of the sound (other than the fact it cuts in and out and stuff, i.e. is it staticy or sratchy at all0?

i'm afraid that this seems to be a problem with alot of win2k and winamp users. myself and about ten other people, all with sblive's, no matter what drivers we have installed, it skips quit frequently. your best bet is to check out winamp.com and head over to the message boards. don't bother posting, just search winamp and win2k, there are alot of posts on it. You can download a different waveout i think, i can't remember, or there is some other fix that you can try, but no guarrantees. J

go with the netgear rt314 from buy.com for the same price and same features. maximumpc.com gave it a pretty damn good review and i find netgear to be a little more reliable than the linksys. some people have all kinds of packet collision problems on them. J

return that sblive and get an acoustic edge. after some serious tweaking, i got it to work pretty good with my fps2000 pieces of **** (till the damn 4.1's come out). i replaced my x-gamer with it, which was just fine for me, but not enough umph, if you know what i mean. J

i tried that damnit, didn't help. piss piss piss!!!!

i've got creative's now and, IMHO, they blow. nuff said

Glue, did you get your 4.1's to work ok with your Acoustic Edge Ok? I just got my AE yesterday, took out my sblive xgamer, and hooked it up to my creative labs fps2000 peices of **** till i get my 4.1's. These sound frickin terrible!! But they sound even worse with the AE than they did with the sblive. have you had any problems with your AE, i'm getting all kinds of clicking and popping i wasn't getting with my sblive. I'm wondering if i should RMA the AE. Thanks, J

muhahahahaa!!!

do you think the limiter in the 4.1 sub makes it inferior to the 2.1 sub. not really inferior, but do you think the 2.1 sub is then better cause you can get more bang for your buck? thanks! J

uh, thanks capn, i guess...

think we should declare a national holiday when paragon gets his 4.1's he he...muhahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

think i should got with the 4.2 (2.1 x2) instead? paragon or somebody, i don't remember, seem to think another sub not identical to the other will have a cancelling out effect.

i wanna get new headphones to go with my 4.1's when they come out. the sennheiser hd580's are supposed to be pretty damn good, but they 300 ohms of impedence, so everybody says i need a headphone amp to go with them. amy, or anybody else, can the headphone jack on the new 4.1's handle these or should i get a headphone amp? thanks!
