actually i was just looking through an ad at best buy and saw that the klipsch quintet III speakers were on sale 50% off. Can anyone tell me if thse will work with my logitech speakers and if so are they worth the upgrade? I think remember reading about someone replacing the logitech sats with...

I have the Z-5500s with an x-fi xtreme music and was wondering if replacing the satellites with some RSX speakers would make a noticeable difference. I loved the sound when I first got them and now I want even better :cool:

well i my monitor is 1680x1050 but Im willing to put black bars the sides if it means it looks better. thanks for the replies everyone

I was wondering if its possible to make a clear wallpaper out of a video. I just watched the spiderman 3 trailer and I tried freezing the frames and taking a screenshot of this, but it doesnt look so hot. Any ideas?

I've got Z-5500s. once i get the money i'll probably end up replacing the front sats.

I use winamp to play my music and I've always used the EQ built into winamp, but I was wondering whether or not the EQ on the X-Fi is any better. I know its probably personal preference, but would one be better than the other? And I seem to read a lot about people not even using the EQ's at all...

My friend just got these and they sounded very nice to me. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16836121122 There not, $500+ speakers, but the get the job done.

like strid3r said, music is in stereo so in order to get it to play through all of the speakers you should just turn on CMS-3D, use stereo surround and turn it to 50%. that way all the speakers play music (that is if you want to hear music from all speakers) For games leave CMS-3D off.

Well if your up for it and have some supplies you can make some. Im in a new neighborhood and so I went out and grabbed a PVC pipe and some wood. after you get that its just a matter of drilling 2 holes. heres some pics. Nothing great, but better than nothing.

make sure the surround volume on your z-5500s is turned up. sometimes they arent. also try keeping it on 6 ch direct until you can hear through all speakers. also make sure in the control panel you have it set to 5.1

My friend is looking to build a computer and was wondering if he should go with an AM2 or 939. And since I've been out of the loop for a while i thought i'd ask you guys. so what do you guys think?

My friend wants me to build him a computer. hes willing to go up to $1200. And since ive been out of the loop for a while, I thought i'd ask you guys here. He likes to play games a lot and prefers AMD. So if you guys could recommend some parts it would be awesome. Thanks

Bump anyone?

I bought a Gateway FPD2185W about a month ago and it randomaly just turns black sometimes. Im using a DVI cable. The blue light stays on and everything. I usually get it back by turning it off and turning it back on. sometimes it works on the first try and its fine for over a week. others it...

when you use mics go into your sound options (recording) and mute it, then make sure the mic boost is on. No more screetching and should work like a charm. Also make sure your "line in" is turned all the way up. also make sure your plugging it into the right spot. (red one)
