ErDrRon Posted March 6, 2001 Share Posted March 6, 2001 Is it normal for the ProMedia v.2-400 system to issue a loud pop when powering down the computer? The ProMedia setup is on a separate circuit and remains powered when shutting off the computer. The soundcard used is a Creative SoundBlaster Live 5.1 with the latest drivers installed. Help!!

rol1 Posted March 6, 2001 Share Posted March 6, 2001 Think of it as a statement of quality about Creative's designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_rod Posted March 6, 2001 Share Posted March 6, 2001 Yes its normal, you can remedy it by hooking them up to a separate surge protector and turning them off before you shut down. Thats what I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gxcad Posted March 6, 2001 Share Posted March 6, 2001 ...or turn down the volume all the way before turning off the computer-Gxcadc> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErDrRon Posted March 7, 2001 Author Share Posted March 7, 2001 Okay, okay..I get the point. A design flaw..on both Klipsch's and Creative's part. Shouldn't have to shut down the volume or unplug/power down the speakers before shutting down the computer..but such is life in the fast lane. Thanks for the disconcerting information ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rol1 Posted March 8, 2001 Share Posted March 8, 2001 No, you can't blame that on Klipch. I don't have that prob with my Aureal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErDrRon Posted March 8, 2001 Author Share Posted March 8, 2001 rol1 I can appreciate that you don't have the problem with your particular setup, but I didn't have any loud pop on shutdown with the Yamaha speaker system I formerly had connected to the Creative SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 card. (Yes, they were powered speakers connected to the same line output as the Klipsch speakers.) Therefore, I can only assume that it is the combination of the Klipsch AND Creative systems causing this rather annoying 'feature'. Thanks for the reply, Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErDrRon Posted March 8, 2001 Author Share Posted March 8, 2001 Well gang, A partial fix, anyway. Just mounted the CP-1 control pod on the Klipsch's. At least I can "disengage" the speakers prior to powering down the 'puter. Not ideal...but closer. ;-) Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
