Logitech Z-680 Base help please

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this thread. Anyways...

My base is really annoying. When I have the base on and nothing playing, I hear this buzz. Even when the volume is low. Is this normal? Is there anyone to fix this and make the base more clear?

do you have any cords or electronic devices (a cell phone perhaps) placed near it? that is often the cause.

That or you need to clean the areas that you plugged in the base to.

no, i don't think either of those are the problems. Thank you for your help though.

Unfortunately, I can ensure you that this is within specs for the specific speakers. I have exactly the same situation, and from the research I have done when I first noticed it, it seems like Logitech just says that we have to live with it.

Yep, it's normal for these speakers and AFAIK, there's no way to completely eliminate the buzz/white noise. I initially had a set replaced because of an overly noisy right rear channel and the replacement wasn't much better. Replacing the speaker wire with a lower gauge (higher quality/thicker) helped out a bit with the noise and sound quality, but nothing spectacular. I am also using the optical input, so results may not be the same for analog. In the end, I have come to live with it and TBH, it doesn't bother me anymore. As far as the Bass is concerned, you can adjust the EQ settings in your sound properties and in the media player. You'll want to adjust the frequencies on the far left with the low frequencies under 200Hz. The Bass level can be adjusted on the speakers themselves, but I trust you've already tried that. PS: I have heard that if you're still under the warranty and you return your 680's to Logitech, they may send you the newer Z-5500's...but you didn't hear that from me.

Is this model powered by a Wall Wart power supply? If so I'd try a different power brick.

Thank you for all your help. I was afraid that this problem was just normal. I'll just not have the bass turned down. I mostly have this problem when watching movies via digital coax. I can still hear it when analog to my computer, but I don't notice it while playing games. As for the power supply, i forget the name, but i know it's a decent one.
