Sound card sound levels.
I decided to post this, even though everyone probably knows about it anyway.
a set of Creative Inspire 2.1 speakers. There not brilliant, but they have a good bass response, and cope with what I play.
I've been having the volume on sound control about 3 1/4 of way up though, and have had to drop bass levels to about 3 1/4 again to stop the bass distorting.
Well, I found out somehow (probably to do with the sound card and it driving the speakers), that dropping the volume to around a 1/4 in Volume Control allows me to push the bass up to almost full with no apparent distortion also in Volume Control, which means I only have to turn the volume of the speakers themselves up.
Weird I found. But it seems like it was the sound card causing most of the distortion at higher bass levels after all.
I have a Sound Blaster Live card.
Just thought it may be interesting.
