I have searched for when the USB was first announced, either to the general public, or to manufacturers to start building for it.
The reason I ask because I have an Altac Lansing ADA-305 hooked to my laptop, HP Pavilion DV6000, AMD 64.
It doesn't work on the USB hook up, but, it is awesome on the analoge plug.
Was the first USB's non-powered?
When I turn the volumn obove 49 on the computer it starts to distort, at any speaker volumn setting. Hit 50 and it jumps up in volumn considerable.
I'm thinking since I bought this speacker system about 20+ years ago it wasn't ment to be powered by the USB. Or analog.
I can crank the speackers to full 100% if the laptop volumn is 49 or below and it will blow the windows out and it's clear as a bell.
Hit 50 on the laptop and it sounds like the speacker system is over drivin, even at very low volumn.
There is no updates for drivers, and it was ment for Windows 98. So the awesome software that came with it is useless. Full 10 channel control.
I'm looking for a work around to use the USB. I know my sound card supports it. But if it's powered, and the system is not ment for it, that would explain the over drivin above 50 on the laptop.
It's an imitation of surround sound system, can run in Stereo mode or surround mode. I find that even the highs bounch around the room along with the mids and doesn't phase the volumn. The bigger the room the better.
You can be on top of the woofer and not hear it, get 15' away and you can't hardly hear the mid's and tweets, only between the thumps.
It's an awesome sound system, and as long as it works I will be in love with it.
As a side note, I got my wife a smaller system years later with 4 satilites and woofer. Maybe 1/2 the volumn and sound quality, even though it was Altec Lansing. Bought my son a pair of powered Satilites for his puter some years later. The just kick ass for $40.
He now uses mom's surround sound system on the TV for his gaming. He thumps the walls and I yell. Then I THUMP back. haha.
Mom's hooked on headphoness. Makes me a little suspicious, she doesn't want anyone to know what she is hearing on the net???? :bangpan:
