Help! Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 distort at high volume on Windows 10 versus my Macbook.

Hey guys I seem to have an issue with my audio. I recently purchased Klipsch Promedia 2.1 speakers. After installing them and testing the sound, I noticed anything over half volume (On the volume knob of the speaker, I had it set to 100 in windows) would cause the satellites to become extremely loud (much louder than they should be) and overpower the mid and lows. This happened on my old pair of speakers, Logitech X-230. I tried plugging the 3.5MM jack into my MacBook and test the audio, and it sounded perfect. I could put the volume knob at max and mac volume at max and no distortion but pure clean audio. Why is this happening? I tried plugging into a different headphone port on my motherboard but it isnt doing anything. I reset any equalizer I have and it still is having issues. Can anyone please help me? Would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you.

They’re probably getting too hot of a signal from the computer.  Turn the output level down in the computer.

What should I turn it down too? And what do you mean by "getting to hot of a signal"? Do you mean too high?


Too high of an input voltage for the speakers.  I would try turning the computer volume down to 75 and see if that works better.  You’ll just have to experiment a bit.
