[Review] Logitech z-5500

[nekrosoft13]

i'm so ****ed off

that control pod cable is ****ing ****

now sometimes when i get up from the ****ing chair, and bumb the desk or quickly get up and "jump" the ****ing cable moves and damn noise and hiss comes from all the speakers, then i gotta go under the desk and try to move the cable little to right, little to left, up and down and try to adjust it again.

I have had some problems but all have been fixed. The cable is fine on my sub and control pod :s .

[nekrosoft13]

fixed how?

[..Vector..]

Mine is fine now, i just bent the cable a bit to the left, and it has stayed there :)

with high quality products you shouldn't have to be bending cables right and left

Man, I just saw those speakers in person @ compUSA, they are sooooo sexy. The subwoofer is huge.

[..Vector..]

Indeed, i now have no room for my legs under my desk because of the HUGE sub lol, a compromise i am more than prepared to make for such a great sound system :)

I to had the hiss problem also my sub was making a low hum noise. I was so ****ed. I starting looking around the net and found this forum and then tried wiggling around the control pod connector and what do you know the hiss and the subwoofer noise went away. Im glad i found this forum. I like the sub on my 560s more than this one though.

all dvds are "lower" than normal volumes... esp when it comes to voices and the like... where as action scenes are louder. This is by design and equates to more realistic difference in volumes for the kinds of sounds you hear

When i play DVD's right from a dvd player i have to change the volume to half way to get the volume i like for my room... and when im outputting normal music/game sounds from my computer i leave it at around 1/4 volume (or less)

EDIT: it has nothing to do with the speakers, it happens to my TV and to my last 3 sets of 5.1

to the people who are having hissing problems:

at what volume are you having the hissing? I only get a hissing problem right when i push the volume past the "e" of volume. It gets progressively louder once the boost level is to the max of 11. my system volume is at 70%

[chronicsoulja]

knowlege

mines starts to hiss at about the L but its only coming from one speaker

[knowleqe]

anyone notice a faint click/pop coming from a speaker(s) when turning mute on/off ?

[chronicsoulja]

i also noticed that and wiggled the control pod cable thats connected to the sub around and it stoped that

I only hear a "hissing" when the volume is in the boost mode but sounds more like normal white noise common to some speaker system. On normal listening levels, I don't hear a thing.

will need more information...

looked at all the volumes on the speakers, not just the main volume

checked all PC volumes... wave and master?

and if its just in a game.. check its volumes too

to get the PC out of the picture, plug something else into the speakers (DVD, mp3 player, anything) and test

wow actually I do, only when a music is playing tho. It's a pretty loud pop

Just a quick question.

Will a optical to digital out cable be right to get the digital sound going.? (Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS)

I do have one of those optical cables that came with the apple monster cables box,

( Mini optical digital to digital Toslink Monster cable )

That I bought for my Airport Express. I tried hooking it up. (Optical to Digital Out on SB card) But when I went to input on the control base for the speakers it said no digital data. Here is a screen shot of the cable for reference.
