Hey, I just got a question about speaker systems
 

Yo,

I got a 2.1 speaker system (I think that's correct) 2 speakers, plus a sub-woofer. (sp?)

Anyways... I was just wondering if I switch it OFF every time I turn off my computer is a good thing? Because I got a little dial which I rotate to either turn up the volume, add bass power or switch off entirely. I was wondering if it was a good idea to do that?

I noticed a bit of 'fuzz' from my speakers when high pitched stuff is played (think of a woman hitting those high notes when singing), and I dunno but did turning my speakers off/on contribute to the cause? And is actually turning them off myself a good idea when my computer shuts down?

thanks for any helpful input.



edit - ok, closed. cheers all.

Turning your speakers off shouldn't damage them. My guess is that you just put the volume too loud, and the speakes are pretty cheap. Could that be the case?

Hells no THEY AIN'T CHEAP! ACKK! WHAT AN INSULT MAN, WHY??! :mad:

It's just the file, it was an .avi, audio encoded at 128kbps or lower so maybe that was it. but if turning it off each time doesn't effect my speakers in any way then it was probably that file, and yes I had it turn it up. (bitrate was low so... yeah)

All Computer Speakers suck and are cheap. The closest to decent is Klipsch, and even they are terribly weak compared to a decent pair of speakers.

Turning your speakers off and on, as long as it's not in rapid succession over and over, will not damage them.

Sounds like my set of Logitech Z-2300's. Logitech tends to make their speakers be able to go louder than they should, so you could very easily break them if you're blasting them.

Just don't set them too high, and they should be fine. And there is no problem with shutting them off that I'm aware of.
