    sound card blown out?

    i don't think it's the speakers cuz i put it through my headphones and get the same result.. i'm thinking of upgrading the soundcard to the audigy2 zs platinum. can't figure what it could be otherwise =\

    sound card blown out?

    i've had an audigy mp3+ for about 5 years now, and it seems as though the bass is getting blown out.. i checked the EQ, the speakers, and even through my cans it sounds the same way.. i wasn't even aware this was possible! at times, i even hear a bit of popping/crackling when there is no sound...

    i've never heard the promedias before, but other speakers i've heard from klipsch are really good.. i guess i'll go over to bestbuy and check em out. but i really had my heart set on some nice bookshelf speakers.. =P

    do i "NEED" a receiver for a good 2.1?

    yea, i've always hated the way computer sat's sounded.. even from so-called "high-end" ones like the logitech 5500. to me, they sound built for games rather than music quality.. so what's the cheapest decent receiver to get if i decide to go that route? sub recommendations also welcome :cool:
