Speaker and Sound Card Advice

[Marine-RX179]

Yes I was not one of many on the forums to not know the bass has separate volume on remote.

I can see the point in putting existing speakers to use but you spent £162 on top of that.

Speakers were accepted as not right as I got refunded.

Just got more testing done on the Corsair.

I'll take back what I said about the sub is no good at under the desk. It would seem that my initial impression of that was because I haven't adjusted the sub level and setting up profile on the remote, which caused the poor performance.

The bass for my Corsair is definitely fine...in fact is more powerful than I initial thought it was since I got more time to test it today, so I'm guessing that you unfortunately must must have received a faulty unit (especially if it's been accepted as not right).

As for me spending the £161, it was more like an upgrade (like upgrading graphic card) and trying different things rather than gotten all my speakers in one go. I initial had just the Creative T40 II (which I use for around 2~ years now), then I gotten the Edifier 1600T Plus, which was better than the Creative by quite a bit with better audio quality, but it was clearly coming short in terms of bass.

The reason I got the Corsair was because I was thinking on using a splitter cable to use the Edifier for music, and the Corsair for gaming and movies, but after a bit of playing around, I found the 5.1 setup and the best of both worlds, so I don't really need to use splitter cable now. So year...setting the speakers up as 5.1 was not my original plan, but there you go

There you go, I assumed you were asking me abut the 2 vols but it seems you had not set it up correctly yourself.

The best settings are the remote not shaping the sound let your card do that, I cannot remember now but that is 2 menus in the remote you set to default or off (would need see to know wording).

You can mute the volume by pressing the knob in like a mouse button and same if you move to the sub vol menu, press to mute sub only.

I got no problem now. I have already set it up when I used the Corsair as part of the 5.1, it was only when I had a short test on its own initial that I have not set up the bass fully.
