Sound muffled in one speaker
I have a 5105rsh and I'm using Creative speaker set. One of the speakers is
muffled while the other is ok. I can switch the wires going to each speaker at the base and the muffled sound will switch. Sound card trouble or Creative speaker trouble? TIA HC |

From: "Quaoar" Sounds like the "muffle" is in the card output. You don't perhaps have the balance slider offset to one channel in the volume control? Q No, I don't. Checked all those things. In fact if I pull the slider all the way to the side of the affected speaker I can hear it but it's muffled. The sound is built into the mobo btw. Was going to buy a new sound card to give it a go but wanted to be reasonably sure it was the card and not something wrong with speaker system first. |

The muffle stays with the channel, but have you swapped the speakers at the card rather than at the speaker? Maybe I misunderstood that you swapped the wires at the card already. Q |

I plug speakers into base unit (Creative Inspire 2.1) then from there one wire goes into the sound card. HC |

With the Creative Inspire 2500 2.1 speakers, if you've powered off the
speakers by switching the subwoofer's rear power switch, or if your speakers temporarily lost power from a power surge, you should unplug the speaker from the sound output plug on the back of your computer, power off your computer, then plug the powered on speakers back into your computer and fire up your computer again. Creative speakers are picky about power loss from the powered speakers while plugged into your computer, and will normally cause the left speaker to be muffled until this is done. Hope this helps.
