i got these as a Christmas present.

the subwoofer has really nice bass in my opinion.
i havent heard alote of systems but this one suites me.

i havent played with it along with my guitar but cant wait. =]

but i had a question:
my left speaker is so much louder then my right speaker (the one with the volume, bass, treble controls on it)

and when i go into the panning in my computer to fix the balance when i turn it all the way to one side and no sound comes from the speakers. but when in the middle or the other side it sounds really good but louder in one speaker. why is this??


thanks in advance! =]
 
make sure your comp has at least 2.1 stereo. and make sure all the connections are tight and wires aren't bad. sometimes when i merge all wires from my 5.1 logitechs to one wire to plug into my laptop, loose or bad connections cause lower sound from one or two speakers.
 
if i told you the model of my computer do you think you would know if it had 2.1 stereo capabilities??

i have a Dell Dimension 2300. the speakers are brand new and ive tested all the speaker wires for loose connections. im not sure what it could be.....

and if my computer doesent have 2.1 stereo capabilities then how do i get that??

thanks alote for the earlier info!
 
newer systems should have onboard stereo. but if it doesn't, you could buy a 5.1 sound card and it plugs into one of you PCI slots. i'm not sure your price range, but a basic one is pretty cheap. altec is a reputable brand so i wouldn't think that it's your speakers fault, but the last resort is to return those for a new one. i would wait for other responses before you do so
 
ok

what would you suggest for a cheap but descent sound card for 2 sattelite speakers and a 4 inch subwoofer???

thanks again :confused:
