eqing it weird.. :\

cause, if all of your music sounds muddy and stuff... your
speaks could be out of phase... meaning you got some
backwards wires connected...

i play the music from two seperate outs on my soundcard -
One goes to my desk and to tannoy reveal monitors... the
other goes to a sony stereo with stereo speakers..... same
prob with both...

can't see anything that i could change in my SC setup....

no, the music sounds fine... its just that certain
frequencys can't be heard i guess...

it's noticable in rock music cause the mix seems to be
messed up (guitars too loud, vocals too low etc...)

Do you have it on the karaoke setting?

hmmm

well, unless, by coincidence, both speaker setups are out of
phase... im not sure what it could be...

but check them just incase... making sure (if the wires are
split and colored) that the colors corrospond. Many people
mess it up... somehow...

well, it is still possible it could be the phase...

the phase issue has to do with panning and stuff... so
depending on the vocals and the mix of the rest... it could
still be it

but now my guess is its not out of phase... so just ignore
me :)
