Small surround sound problem lol hopefully one of you tech guys can explain. basically i bought surround sound for my xbox and when the xbox is off the telly is off everything is off accept the surround sound, i can hear muslim preaching songs and the like, You know like indian music very faintly and only for like 10 minutes at different times every day lol. its proper weird, i used to think it was my mums telly but shes out and its doing it right now..... its fucking annoying...mainly from the rear speakers for some reason by the way lol. SOME ONE HELP ME I DONT WANT TO GET PROBED. mabye its picking up signals from somewhere ? i really dont know lol
Re: I think i'm being contacted by muslim preacher aliens. you got new neighbours? LOL nah, background noise is comming from somwhere.. so remove all the components one at a time (usually the tv/radio aerial picking up dead tones on a half frequency) if it does it wiht NO imputs connected then maybe it just sounds like muslims and is a strange earth problem (is the sub/amp paret of the system earthed?) OR you have somhow found the first of the miniturized alkieda suicide bombers hiding in our home entertainment equiptment... no bother if that is the case, the tiny little bombs they now have on there tiny backs can bearly blow your nose silly bastards
Re: I think i'm being contacted by muslim preacher aliens. also just to add, if your speaker cable/signal cable is really long and so coiled up, it acts as a sort of antenna and pics up signals, same thing happens with my pc surround sound
Re: I think i'm being contacted by muslim preacher aliens. oh ye, also. keep your POWER cables and SPEAKER cables as far away from each other as possible... interfierance is rithe with sound equiptment, especally all on one surround sound. should have bought a decent 5.1 amp and 5 speakers
Re: I think i'm being contacted by muslim preacher aliens. Buy some polkaudio speakers mate, with some PROPAAAH speaker cables.
Re: I think i'm being contacted by muslim preacher aliens. no matter how good your "PROPAAAH" cables are.. if the power + Speaker are touching then it will mess it up... but as Minor said, make sure the cables aren't touching same with car audio, RCA + Speaker cables should be ran down opposite sides
Re: I think i'm being contacted by muslim preacher aliens. i think it is that system minor mate, cost me 75, logitech, big sub and 5 speakers
Re: I think i'm being contacted by muslim preacher aliens. If he got some polkaudio speakers, and new speaker cables, it would mean he'd spend alot of money, which would also mean he'd run the cables correctly, which means no fault, with a very good sound system. It like saying your saying, 'oh, it doesnt matter if i have a pm59(mediocre cable) or a malossi exhaust(good cable), if its tightened properly(comparison to the cable running), then theyr'e both the same.' which obviously is wrong.
Re: I think i'm being contacted by muslim preacher aliens. how about you just stop smoking that shit?
Re: I think i'm being contacted by muslim preacher aliens. bun all that shit, go buy yourself the heaviest amp you can afford from a secondhand electrical shop, some half decent speakers matched perfectly to the power output of the amp, earth the amp to your computer... sorted (altho its usually a 2 chanel amp) use a 5.1 amp from the pc as you would normally (set in 5.1 mode, with all 3 plugs on the pc used for output to the amp, so yes 3 cables/a 5.1 cable/optical cable) then just get matching sets of fronts and rears a sub and a centre... OR get 2 nice big amp's (one 2 channel one 4 channel) run the 2 channel as the fronts, then the centre/sub and 2 rears from the 4 channel amp ether way, fuck all in one computer sound solutions.. go for a decent amp/speakers THEN work your computer into that.. these "home surround systems" are shit.. absoloute shit no matter HOW much you spend on them... if your looking for decent active speakers look at mackie aduio equiptment, fucking p[erfect sound, if you just want good, clear, loud sound then go for a stack... if you want ANY kind of surround sound then go buy a 5.1 amp and 6 speakers opnce you have a 5.1 output (no interfierance EARTHED lump of goodness) you can still high low the speaker cables into seprate amps/matched wiht speakers wiht seperate graf if you so wish (altho theres no need) meaning you can run a relativly low power amp, into seperate front rear sub and centre amps (altho id personally run 4 matching in each corner, then piggyback via high lows/the recording outputs (tape/minidisk returns basicly) for low level sound into more amps to a pair of centre fronts (big) a centre, seprate twin subs at the back... can smash up the front sound wihtout killing the rear, also means the rear surround is there yet doesent overpower the front.... first things first, go ditch the shit you have hooked up and buy yourself a decent earthed 5.1 amp (probably 90 max secondhand for sommin decent)
Re: I think i'm being contacted by muslim preacher aliens. most of us have moved away from seperates and stuff because of lack of room :cry:
Re: I think i'm being contacted by muslim preacher aliens. i had a seperate rig in a 6x7 ft room once upon a time, wiht a computer, bed, mixer, 2 decs and a whoile load of othr shit.... mke use ofroom your not usig (can ut a shelf near he eeling and have the all in line) no excuse for shitty sounds
Re: I think i'm being contacted by muslim preacher aliens. Sorry, did you just home surround systems are shit? Maybe the ones you're buying from your secondhand shop are, but if you go to a proper AV shop, where they dont just supply you with speakers, they actually install them with the best cables going - depending on the amount the client wishes to spend, then they're the best.
Re: I think i'm being contacted by muslim preacher aliens. oi doghnut, read the post first ye shitty all in one pc home surround sound "solutions" are shit...thats the point. your actually repeating what ive said the last couple posts
Re: I think i'm being contacted by muslim preacher aliens. mine isnt too bad. 5.1 surround even with connection through a headphone socket or usb :mrgreen:
Re: I think i'm being contacted by muslim preacher aliens. Fuck all these shitty surround systems as much power as a wasp fart, honestly nothing beats the old school, a stereo amp, graphic EQ, cd deck (and turntable if you use lp's), and some big as speakers....... And they'll knock the socks off any 5.1 you can put against them, if only my room was solid brick instead of partition ale:
Re: I think i'm being contacted by muslim preacher aliens. lol they do alright for what they are....thats a nice telly btw... :grin:
Re: I think i'm being contacted by muslim preacher aliens. do alright ahaa just remember that when they were out they were probably the equivalent of what....at least a grand a set of speakers alone (mid 80's) liquid cooled tweeters and 15" woofers, and the amp weighs a freaking ton (smells great when blasting away, and when i say blasting think in small venue territory). And you dissing the telly ehh? I have you know that half of wolverhampton's nightclubs have dozens of the exact same sets faithfully plugging away day in day out.....thompson electronics were bloody good. Sorry about the waffling ahaa surround sucks i'm just a bit of a renegade like my music loud n proud
Re: I think i'm being contacted by muslim preacher aliens. amps are simple, the heavier the better... you could still run a 5.1 and just piggyback the front signal into your stereo amp... run a second for the rear's and a seperate for the centre and sub (left and right channel) OR use both sides into 2 smaller speakers for centre and run one big bridged amp for a sub = sick 5.1 sound... dump the graph aswell... if your speakers/amp are matched well and produce good sound you wont need it. all music is made in a studio/level'd up the way they want it i hate to say it tho, but you couldent give that tv away these days... i had to drive one down the tip when we got this...
Re: I think i'm being contacted by muslim preacher aliens. cratch: hmm ok team, what does this photo tell us about our suspect minor confusion :mod: , he has a coffee jar full of pennys, so he's a saver, he has a picture of a boat...on land... so he is scared of water he is a murderer....... as he obviously doesn't water them fucking plants hock: playstation 2 games suggest he still has one the card means it was somebody's birthday recently, due to the size id guess it was a females we also see the infamous wireless key board , seems to be a kettle in the bottom right of the screen he also has a large collection of dvds including "a friends series" he's also going to be in trouble with the wife for leaving that purple felt tip on the sofa with no lid on
