Hi,

I purchased the Logitech Z5500 a few days ago, and have them connected to an X-Fi via analogue.

The first thing I noticed was a 'buzzing' from the Sub. It's not hugely loud, but I can definitely hear it. Is this correct? I was hoping it would be a bit more silent.

Also, when using the direct connection, I am getting a 'hiss' throughout all the speakers. When I change the effect to 'Stereo', the hiss vanishes, but the hiss returns on all other effects. What is the problem here?

Any help appreciated,

Simon
 
shoot them all to hell and get a real stereo or headphones.

there's an issue with the x-fi really but logitech are poorly made as are most all "PC speakers"

return them if you can. the x-fi too and get a prelude later this month.

sorry to be no help

:)
 
when i bought my set of z-5500's about 1.5 years ago the sub buzzed and popped too. i went through the rma process w/ logitech. they only required that i send back the control pod, about a month later (due to stock issues of the new revised speakers), i received a brand new shiny set of Z-5500's which do not buzz or hum or pop in any way. they are awesome! logitech ftw!

read through this thread, keep an eye on my postings as you see that i was quite frustrated too.
 
Hi,

The Sub is only a light Buzz, which I can only hear when I'm laid down on the floor with my ear to it. Am I right in thinking that if some of you Z5500 owners out there did the same, you would hear silence, or do you too hear a slight buzz?
 
Something else I have noticed, which is a definite fault. When I am playing a song, and if its a particularly intense (I don't know how else to describe it) sound, the back left speaker vibrates like crazy, and I mean vibrates in that I can hear the actual speaker hitting itself. Is there any way to stop this? It's almost like the enclosure isn't tight or something, even though it is.

Anyone any ideas?
