Questions for the Logitech Z-5500 SPEAKERS

[SpAcE CoW]

ok, figured it out. You can't select +1 or +2 with digital out...

i never turn my setup over 6-7 blocks on volume.. its a shame that i live in an apartment building with old people for neighbors

but i do crank it up on weekends... omg its saturday!!!!

 

[SpAcE CoW]

does yours make a small "shhhhh" sound when you put your ear near the speakers? I'm scared I damaged mine. I hope its normal

 

[EKKC]

what shhh sound?
no shhh sound here..... you mean when i leave volume on and nothing played or coming out on speakers it making shhh sound for you?

i use coax for my all-purpose rig and direct 6.1 for gaming rig

 

[SpAcE CoW]

try the direct 6.1 see if it makes it. I don't think it does it on coax or optical.

 

[EKKC]

how loud do i have to leave the volume to hear the shhh sound

i had to turn the volume to half to hear a very low humming sound, but when the volume is that high, any speaker will make the hum noise. but its nothing like a "shhhh"

 

[SpAcE CoW]

mine does it on any volume in direct 6.1... I don't think it does it on digital out (coax, optical) though. just put your ear near the speakers to check.

thank you

 

[EKKC]

yeah it doesnt make the noise on either input... unless i turn it WAAAAY up

 

[SpAcE CoW]

not even a faint humming on direct 6.1?

 

[EKKC]

cant hear it unless put my ear right next to it. and its a very, very faint hum... not a shhh noise. is that what you were referring to?

 

[SpAcE CoW]

yeah, thats what I was talking about. It doesn't do it in coax right?

 

[SpAcE CoW]

these sound amazing!!! everyone should get them... I'm looking for problems . I bet their perfectly fine.

 

[SpAcE CoW]

even when the direct 6.1 is not hooked up to the soundcard I can hear it at about 5 inches from the speaker. Like a faint white noise...

 

[ponyo]

It's common problem with cheap Logitech speakers. My Logitech Z680 hisses as well. Fortunately I can turn it off when I'm not using it.

 

[SpAcE CoW]

some people say they have ZERO hiss/white noise.. I thought mine was messed up. I really need to know if its "NORMAL" for the Z-5500 before my 30 day exchange expires.

 

[SpAcE CoW]

someone must have this set...

 

[ponyo]

It's normal. Some sets have them. Or all have them and some just don't hear it.

 

[Savarak]

faint white noise is probably caused by the cd digital/analog, line-in, or microphone or such... just doubleclick your speaker icon in windows, and mute everything except play control, wave, and midi while at 90% volume... i'm sure one of those will stop those hissing sounds

 

[SpAcE CoW]

all sets have that or just some?

 

[SpAcE CoW]

bump

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

Did you try what Savarak suggested?

(Same thing I mentioned on the 21st)

 

[SpAcE CoW]

well I did, but even when their not hooked up to anything they have that very faint white noise when my ear is about 4-5 inches from them...

 

[SpAcE CoW]

bump...

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

My new advice is go and exchange these just to see if something's up, and if your problems persist with the new set, then you'll know for sure

 

[SpAcE CoW]

lol

love the answer, but they are currently sold out and I will only get credit until they get more in about a month... thats why I'm so persistent. I wish someone who owns the set could just tell me his does the same thing..
