trachselbj Posted July 4, 2001 Share Posted July 4, 2001 I've owned a ProMedia 4.1 system for approximately six months. Until recently, I've been very pleased with the system and have taken every opportunity to show it off. Last week, however, an equally impressed yet savy 22 year old cable modem installer suggested that I contact Klipsch about distortion in the satellites due to bass crossover. Is there anything that I can do to eliminate a fair amount of distortion at higher volumes due to bass coming through the satellites?

Dan F Posted July 5, 2001 Share Posted July 5, 2001 Yes, you can get into your sound card setup and back off on the bass settings. Then, turn up the subwoofer control on the speaker to where it sounds best. This will sound way better. -djf ------------------ Klipsch ProMedia Customer Service # is 1-888-554-5665 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trachselbj Posted July 6, 2001 Author Share Posted July 6, 2001 Thanks Dan. Your recommendation helped; however, I'm wondering if a better sound card might improve things even more? Right now, I'm using a SoundBlaster Value card that came packaged with my computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I like the Live Value card overall, I don't really think of it as a weak card. The Vortex 2 was a little more accurate in surround sound, but the SB-L-V holds its own in most respects. The newer 5.1 cards are undoubtedly better, so that might be a good next step; but I wouldn't throw stones at the SB card, necessarily. Maybe wait until more game designers are totally on top of 5 channel sound... -djf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
