There is no bass from the LAP340 or how loud it is, why not?

Make sure TV sound is disabled. All sound will come through SoundPlate. It has much better sound than the TV.

Once you mute or minimize the tv volume, then try using the Cinema function. You might want to take a closer look at where your tv/LAP340 is placed for optimum listening. The Dual sub woofers give me Excellent low frequency sound.

I have the same problem. The sound is so low and I have the volume up as far as it will go . I bought this for my porch and I do not use it because I can't hear it. I will send it back.

I just tested it with a friend and he had it as loud as he could stand it. I could hear almost nothing as I stood next to him. He was listening to Turn Up the Music by Chris Brown, only a faint buzz was heard. I guess it's possible that the genre may make a difference (bass etc.)

what? why would it not work? does it work when you plug other things to it? and how about this laptop of your can you hear sound from it? when you plug headphones to it? basic troubleshooting.

The problem is not just the speakers. There isn't sufficient amplification to product acceptable sound levels.best to get a sound bar or an inexpensive receiver and speakers. YMMV

As far as l know (also based in my experience), a different amplifier won't increase the bass drastically (you might get better control of it, though). I would rather invest in a different pair of HPs. May l ask you what type of bass would you like to increase? Sub-bass, mid-bass? Have you tried to EQ it (with Foobar2000, for example)?

It seems to work fine but t was only the lap top speakers that were out not the sound card. Check your device manager to see if the sound card is functioning if the computer says it is. Check your sound systems. Its easy to replace a sound card in a lap top. And worth it.

I heard a lot of noise as well, that is before i bought a dedicated audio interface, like an m-audio m-track, preSonus, focusrite, etc.. If you're not using one, then i'd say get that first. I have no noise now at all settings. From -30db, and i usually have my speakers set at the +6db and nothing. i'm also using the 1/4" to 1/4" plug into the balanced inputs. If you're using an audio interface, then i'd say call customer support and get it fixed.

Dont know i returned it after i got it due to not being able to hear my music on it.

That's not true on mine atleast. I think mine are on the top in front of the screen behind the keyboard and they are loud. When playing video games my friends ask me to turn it down and the sound quality is excellent, though by the sound I would say no bass or built in woofer. If you want the full spectrum sound like someone else said you may want speakers, but for everyday use it's fine. I have noticed no difference in tabletop versus lap, etc.

Never had that issue. I did remove mine because of the sound.Just sounded really bad.Anybody wanna buy it for $100 ?

Maybe the speaker is defective, because the one's I bought didn't make any noises.

I plug mine into a mixer or an amplifier and the bass has plenty punch to it. I will have to check it with just headphones.

did you install with the correct wiring, is the volume control have lights on? put in the midle and your stereo too! this speaker is low sound because it is not an standard speakers they pick up only the Bass of the music.

It could be the external speakers you have; also make sure the speaker jack is ALL THE WAY IN the external port. (Otherwise youll only get a faint sound.)

make sure everthing bass is tuned to the lowest hz setting or around 40hz usually sounds nice and whats powering them btw

Not sure what the problem is, I'd return it to the store for another one. I like mine, plenty of sound for the size...
