izman23 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hi All, I searched all forums relating to this issue but could not find current info. The issue: I have to turn volume up past 40 before I start hearing sound out of the speakers...at full 80 the sound is loud but not very loud these speakers should rock at 80 but they don't, why? Could it be that I must use a 5.1 soundcard to get these to play loud? I just connected them to my macbook headphone jack out to the front input jack. thanks!

dgoreck Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 What is the volume set on your macbook and/or the headphone jack. Make it like 90% of max. See if that improves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
distronic Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I am having the same issue. I own the ProMedia Ultra 5.1s and I have to have the volume at around 60 to get a good sound. At 40, it sounds like it should at 20 or so. I am running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, and the volume is turned up to max. I am using the onboard sound card so that might be your problem as well. Connecting my iPhone 3G to the input through the volume control with the iPhone's volume at maximum gives good sound for being 40. I think the output from your soundcard might be the problem if the previous poster's suggestion didn't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
