Anyone knows why the speakers sounds very soft &amp; I have to crank up the volume pretty high for me to hear anything out of the satellite speakers?

I seem to have the same problem. I am not well versed in audio components and assume that that must be normal. I am hopeful someone will have a better answer or can offer a solution.

To tell you the truth I don't even use them. They have an echo effect when you turn them up. Don't like that. To try to answer your question most of the others hit it on the head,make sure the volume is turned up on the speakers and make sure the base unit is on. Best of luck to you.

Yes! I get this annoying hum that only goes (mostly) away if the bass control is all the way down. The volume control has no effect and it doesn't matter if the satellite speakers are plugged in or not. I wanted to put this next to my bed but the hum is intolerable. I plan to return it. I don't know if I should try getting a replacement or if I should give up on this model entirely.I got a replacement and it is worse. It buzzes even with the power off. With the power on I can hear the hum across the (quiet) room. When it is close enough to reach the control from my bed, the hum drives me crazy. Yes!

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.

As long as your satellite speakers are set to large on your receiver or else no bass frequencies are sent to it, it would be easier and better to just connect to your receiver with the normal rca jacks

Nothing I tried that and got nothing. .i even bought a y splitter to run 2 sets of speakers and got this loud humming sound!!

Lol. That happened to me too. You need to plug in both the usb cable and speaker/headphone cable into the laptop for it to work. Additionally there's a volume control button on the cord itself. If you think that it's playing too softly, that's because the volume is not turned up all the way. Trust me it plays pretty loud for such small speakers.

you can go into the Audio and check speaker volume, I turned down the front 2 speakers and the center channel and turned up the rear volume; also when you play dvd or blu ray make sure you have set for 5.1 channel. Not all are set this way automatically. hope that is of some help

I got the same issue (connected with USB) plus, has static. The on/off control is in the weird location and many times I get the Static with a noise in the speaker. They even get sound when I turn on and off the light in the room. It never happened with the previous speakers.

hello. Amazon asked me to answer your question. i have this amp and satellite speakers. the sub and satellite speakers are connected together. a great sub that can be adjusted for a boom or thump sound. and it can get loud if need be : -)

Try with Peerless, those have a strong built and are universal, you can hide the cables inside main leg. I have a pair for years now, and I have use them with several satellites speakers and have worked with all of them.

There are audio settings in the menu, I was able to play with those and get good volume. The TV is at another location so I can't help you with specifics now.

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

Dieckmann, you have not mentioned what watt are you speakers. i have the same problem too but my speakers are like 40W. i am usuing my old speakers till i get a deal on a new 80-100W speakers.so maybe if you upgrade the speaker is you have low Watt ones you will get good sound at 30-40 level.hope this helps

I am having the same problem (I hadn't noticed the volume level though). Anyone have any ideas?

Try reducing the output volume. I have to keep mine fairly low. Takes some tweaking
