Adjust LFE Crossover Frequency

[Gamingphreek]

I am playing music on my desktop computer with 5.1 Logitech Z-640's as well as an Audigy 2. The bass of the sub is just too overwhelming compared to the bass from the rest of the speakers.

Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the LFE Crossover Frequency to a lower value so the actual speakers have more bass as opposed to it all going towards the Sub.

That crossover frequency is built into the speakers. You'd have to modify the circuitry to effectively change anything.

OT: hi there fellow Christian 🙂

I remember the Nvidia Soundstorm drivers had an adjustable LFE frequency (I normally kept it at ~120hz). There isn't anything like that I can control right now?

Thanks,

Actually I'm sorry there is something. I'm used to the way my Z-560 speakers work. OK if you have the Creative software installed go to your creative speaker settings, and in the Bass Management tab there is a checkbox "Bass redirection" and you can adjust it there 🙂

I'm looking at it from my Audigy 2 ZS controls, I don't imagine that it would be much different than the Audigy 2.

I hope this helps.

Believe it or not, I don't have a Bass tab. My tabs are as follows:

Decoder|SPDIF I/O|Bit Accurate|Restore Defaults
Device Information|Speakers|EAX|CMSS 3D

None of those tabs contain anything about Bass Redirection 🙁

I found in the registry an LFE value, but then again all of the values in there have a hex value of fff (65535 in Decimal). I don't know why lol.

Do you have your audigy 2 submenu in your start menu still? look at this that is what we are looking for.

I don't have anything like that. All I have is the "Creative Audio Console"

I have an Audigy 2 so some options aren't there, but it looks like this

Oh. I've never seen that before. Do you have the retail CD that came with your card, did you install everything driver/utility related from it (not media source though)? How about driver updates?

This is the latest driver from their site. I think I'll just try to equalize everything with one of the equalizers.

Well if you don't have the speaker settings applet installed from the original CD that would be why you can't find that. Are you accessing that window from within Control panel > Audio HQ or directly from the start menu?
