I just installed my new X-Fi Titanium sound card. It sounds awesome paired with my Z-5500s and being connected with optical, but im having a problem. Any time I turn the bass up past like 30% on the sound console, my speakers become really distorted and it sounds AWFUL. Is this an equalization problem? Im not very good at all this audio stuff, this is my first nice setup. Please help.

Thanks!
 
I had the same thing happen to me with music. Turns out I had two equalizers running at once. The X-Fi automatically enables one (can be turned off in the SB X-Fi Audio Panel in your toolbar) and I had one for my audio and video programs to compensate for my then craptastic audio.

It also automatically enables bass boast in the crystalization menu.

Hope this fixes your problem.
 
I realized I still had my old Realtek stuff running just a few minutes ago, so I disabled/uninstalled everything that had to do with my previous stuff. Even at low volumes, it is sounding much better right now. Although, my roomate works the graveyard, so hes currently sleeping, which makes it so I cant test it out right now.

Thanks for your help
