Yes, checking the connections was one of the first things I did while touble shooting this problem. I even went so far as to power the speakers on a diffrent circuit in my apartment. It's thumping away as I type this...

I bought a set of 4.1's last week (floor model - $149 from BestBuy I set them up and they sound pretty good, a slight improvement from my previous set-up of Klipsch KG1 and a 200w/ch Carver plugged into a SB Live Value. All was fine for a few hours then I noticed the subwoofer was firing randomly. Boom boom..... boom..boom. It thumps away quit happilly regaurdless if I'm playing music or not.(during songs it sounds like there's a extra, spastic guy on the kick drum) It's bloody annoying. I've searched the archives numerous times yet never ran across a post reguarding this problem. I've tried to pin the cause of the problem down to no avail. All bass settings on my comp. are set to zero, system volume is low, win amp EQ is nutral, all connections are sound. The random bass noises are the same volume despite any adjustments I make to the CP Sub/Surround/Volume settings. Anouther thing I've noticed during the last week is the thumping apears tottally at random, but once it starts it keeps going on, and on... It sometimes disapears when I reboot, but not always... I'm at my wits end, so much so that the KG1's and Carver are looking like a better set-up. Please help. Cheers for now; EADG
