can i expect a reduction in sound quality, especially volume over connecting to speaker ports

Best use for me has been to feed music from a source( usually my iPhone on you tube) then run it into my laptop via a software called Wiretap Studio, under which conditions I have noted that you need to turn up the volume on the source to get full recording level. However if you record to a software you don't lose quality but only a volum e level.

I noticed no reduction in sound quality. I was using it to transfer a older MP3 player tunes onto a Mac that only had the USB input ports.

Just remember to keep your volume controls in the recording program (Final Vinyl or Garage Band) set to medium loudness and you'll be fine. Anything higher than medium will create distortion. Hope this helps.

I have not had this problem. Position of the speakers in the room makes a difference, close to a wall or corner can affect the amount of bass reflected. Def Tech has allowed for this and placed a knob in the back towards the bottom that allows you to decrease the amount of bass of each individual enclosure. Other than this, you would have to decrease the bass output from your receiver.

There just some cheap speakers. I doubt you would be satisfied by turning the bass down. Cheap speakers.

Probably no more volume than your TV already. This would be similar to LCD TV or good laptop speakers.

Hello, this product will have some noise, if less demanding on the sound, you can use

From what I have read, better speakers would be a better investment before changing the sound card. Have a look at this forum.http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/58378-6-speakers-sound-card

It depends. It is super clear and fills space well, but if your other speakers don't keep up you'll have a muddy sound. I don't think it's over kill, sound wise, but make sure you have good cables and other speakers to keep the sound quality up.

Out of box, technically no, there are ways to do it, but every way I know you end up loosing sound quality. you'll have to do some research on it but there are no out puts on this, except for the speakers, and lots of inputs.

Has anyone tried this that can verify whether the volume is reduced with 2 speakers?

Yes, there is an audio port that I use most of the time since this speakers has very poor wifi stability

No one? I am specifically looking for a UBS output to speaker system. The reason is fidelity & elimination of latency. Take up a port? Don't you have a powered hub with a jillion outputs?

It will bypass all internal audio components. I wouldn't call it an improvement over most integrated audio, but for a laptop with bad onboard you would definitely hear an improvement.

I'm sure you could do it. And I would guess that it would have some modest impact on sound quality, but I am not an expert in the field, just making a guess based on the added potential of signal loss.

Yes, through the menu you have 3 options for audio output. Choose the "LINE OUT" option and it bypasses the built in speakers.

I agree with the other comment. If possible, pair with another device to ensure that it is not the speakers. I love these speakers :>

I think this port requires a powered/amplified source. Works fine with external speakers for me.

I have not notice a decrease in audio. If anything it would be less than 10%
