Hello! For some reason, I get too much bass or too little even though I haven't touched the computer's volume mixer (Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS) and speaker volume controls. With very little bass, I noticed if I turn my subwoofer from its lowest setting a little higher, then I feel a lot of bass for a second. Does the speaker have limit controller or something? I checked the cables behind the subwoofer, and they seems fine. I wonder if my old speaker set is dying (time for a new speaker set). I have had it since December 1999. Has anyone had this problem before? If so, then how did you fix it? Thank you in advance.

It will never die.

Did you ask Klipsch's support yet instead of forum?

Mine still works too. I had it since 12/9/1999 (still have my print out and manual, heheh)! I never did that preamp switch even though I did have the annoying crackle sounds but it wasn't that annoying. I did have problems with my left speaker going deaf, but I found a lose cable behind my subwoofer AFTER I ordered cable replacements (oops -- I kept them just in case).I will keep this speaker set until it breaks (except the cables if they can be replaced with the ones I ordered). I have no idea what I would get. Maybe another Klipsch brand?

Hello, I am still using my old ProMedia v.2-400 speakers. Does this old model handle well for LFE? I noticed some software players support it. They do have warnings not to use it if speakers can't handle LFE and possible damages. Thank you in advance.

Hofy is alive!

Also, if Hofy still around?

Woah! This thread is still here? Haha. Hi all too old and new people! I was one of the oldies too. Still using my v2-400 speakers! However, I came to Klipsch's Web site to e-mail the support for a cable replacement. It seems like my front left speaker's cable to the subwoofer is damaged due to static and I could mute the speaker in specific positions. I hope it is nothing else.

I read that the white dot for subwoofer is THX level. Is that based on sound mixer's bass at medium with an Audigy 2 card? Thank you in advance.

Hi all. As you know DOOM 3's surround sound option doesn't work if you don't set surround sound speakers. Quadraphonic speakers doesn't work and disable this option in DOOM 3. I was told that there is missing stuff due to lack of center speaker. Klispch ProMedia v2-400 is 4.1 setup. Is this true? Are you guys noticing this in yours? I have a SB Audigy2 and I don't seem to hear anything missing. I do notice the audio is louder with surround sound. Thank you in advance.

You meant to say ZS, not ZX. Right?

With ZS and original Audigy 2, will I notice the audio quality differences on my old Klipsch ProMedia v2-400 speakers set? I do not play very loud, but I do crank the bass very high since I am a bass freak. This is for MP3s, DVDs, and gaming (EAX is important).

How is it more reliable? The drivers? What's the difference between a regular Audigy 2 and the ZX version? I cannot seem to see the major differences -- only see one more channel, a little louder, etc.

Makaveli: Yea, but mostly MP3s. I was going to get a M-Audio Revolutions sound card, but I found it has poor EAX. I am a hardcore PC gamer. So gaming gets a higher priority over sound quality. What do you think?

Hello, will I be getting a big difference in sound quality improvement from a SB Live! card? I am still using my old Klipsch ProMedia v2-400 speakers (4.1). Thank you in advance.

Hi guys! I am thinking of replacing my old Sound Blaster Live! Platinum (without its LiveDrive) with a M-Audio Revolution 5.1/7.1. I know 7.1 can't be used for this 4.1 old speaker setup. I am not planning to upgrade my speakers set any time soon. I will wait until it breaks or whatever. It still kicks butt after many years. Will my old ProMedia v.2-400 be handle to take all/most of the features off this sound card? I am mainly using it for gaming, DVDs, TV shows (have an ATI Radeon 9800 AIW card -- might record but quality isn't important since I compress to DivX with low quality), and music (MP3s, CDs, music videos, streaming media, etc.). Thank you in advance.

I will enable External Pro Logic Processor/Dolby Surround Pro Logic II then. I didn't see Dolby Digital in the WinDVD options though, but I did see a small graphic text saying that in the player.

Hi. I am not an audiophile so I need some feedbacks. Is it better to enable Dolby Surround Pro Logic II in WinDVD v4.0 and PowerDVD XP? I have a Sound Blaster Live! and an old set of Klipsch Promedia v.2-400 (4.1 setup). I wasn't able to hear the differences with and without Dolby Surround Pro Logic II. Thank you in advance.

They still rock and if they blow ill be happy to go pick up the new 5.1's Cheers Klipsch to a great product!!! Same here! I have had my ProMedia Klipsch Promedia v.2-400 since 12/1999 (3 years old!). It still rocks. I don't need the fancy stuff (5.1 setup, etc.) since my hearing isn't good. I just want bass.

Do any of you use Dolby Surround Pro Logic feature in WinDVD v4.x? Are there any advantages of having this audio feature enabled with Klipsch ProMedia v.2-400 (4.1 setup)? I know one difference is that all speakers (rear speakers too) will play even in stereo mode (e.g., MPEG videos). I can't seem to hear the differences with DVD movies since my hearing isn't that good. I wonder if Dolby Surround Pro Logic feature is very good to use. Thank you in advance.

Are these rules still valid for WinDVD 4 and PowerDVD 4.0? I still use my old Klipsch Promedia v2-400, SB Live (4 speakers), and Windows XP. Thank you in advance.
