Pro Sound Speakers

I BOUGHT SOME "MACKIE" PRO SOUND POWERED SPEAKERS FOR $2400.00 THEY HAVE DEFECT AND ONE CAUGHT ABLAZE AND BURNT MY HOME DOWN. LOOKING IF SOME ONE ELSE HAD SAME PROBLEM

Wierd. Mackie are a pro company. I know this is of no use to you but they normally don't send stuff out with a fault. I work as a sound engineer and never have a problem with mackie gear.

Sorry to hear about what happend to your home.

Hi.
I've been thinking about getting a new sound card recently.
I have a Logitech Z-5300e + Turtle Beach Santa Cruz combo,
so please keep that in mind before you give me an advice. My speakers lack tweeters, and I've heard sound coming out of a klipsch pro-media speaker which sounded better than mine. Would my speakers sound much better if I get it plugged into a X-Fi sound card than its combination with a turtle beach Santa Cruz sound card, or would there not be much of a difference? I've read on internet sites how people wrote X-Fi is worth the money, but the fact that my speakers lack tweeters concerns me cuz its improvement may be limited due to the lack of tweeters. Santa Cruz doesn't sound all that bad with my speakers, and if X-Fi isn't that better than Santa Cruz, I may just stick with Santa Cruz. I don't play games, so EAX isn't all that important to me I guess. For those of you who have Z-680 or Z-5500 with a X-Fi card, your advice may be very helpful to me.

Buy new speakers and a sound card and send me your old ones!!

Seriously,

Can you borrow your friends speakers to test if they make a big difference on your computer?

What sound card is he using? Did you install all the latest drivers for your sound card?

If you want to buy a new sound card, buy only those that are rated 5 stars and have a lot of reviews.

Most 7.1 cards most are compatible with 5.1 speakers
Download the manual from mfr site to be sure it is compatible with 5.1. All the 5.1 cards at newegg.com are not rated that good.

My new macbook pro seems to have a little tiny white noise static type sound coming from the left speaker when i turn it up to higher volumes. I'm thinkin I'll take it into the apple store in couple of days. Do you think they'll replace the computer or just put in a new speaker or something. Because I just got it an I'd like to use it and put my stuff on it and not let it sit around until i can get to the apple store.

Sounds like a bad speaker, take it back

It sounds like the either the drivers aren't installed or it's muted.
First see if there is any sound card installed in the control panel. If there isn't you will need to find out what the card is and download the drivers. I suggest a program called Aida32. It's a free download at:

It is definitely not an input problem, since the R speaker gets its input through the L speaker. Plugging in earphones into the speaker gets balanced music. It is not a balance issue, I've checked. Strangely, it corrected once by itself, but its back to the problem situation again. Any advice appreciated.

There could be a problem with the wiring since you say it corrected itself before. It maybe time to get another set of speakers.
