Wow that's loud. Yup it's normal for optical to be louder than analog for most cases.Is your source weak? Try raising your source volume?

As far as I know my soundcard is weak but tested with different DAC I get louder volumes.

Ive never go more than 35 on casual listening though

Oh forgot to mention that my software volume is set at half.

I want to buy this Edifier S760D speaker in Indonesia but not available. does anybody know where is to buy in Malaysia that can ship to Pekanbaru Indonesia by EMS service. also any recommendation external sound card for home theater/ movie are welcome

I just got the S760D today. Hooked it up to the optical out of my Samsung TV. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the sound is really soft. It's night time and I've got the volume all the way to 60, and I'm not worried that my neighbours are gonna complain. This just doesn't seem to be right. All the reviews I've read on this speaker claim massive sound.

The TV model is UA65KU6000, I've got the TV sound setting to audio output and PCM. The reason I put it on PCM is when I hooked the system up, it was by default in Dolby Digital, and the vocals were very muffled. It sounded like the vocals were being played only by the subwoofer. The only way I could get the vocals of the TV show I was watching to sound normal was to set output as PCM on the TV, and 2.1 (Dolby Digital off) on the speakers. If I turned DD on, I got the same muffled vocals.

So to recap, there are 2 issues:

1) Volume is much MUCH lower than what I heard this speaker is capable of.

2) Vocals are muffled on any setting other than PCM (from TV) and 2.1 (on speaker).


Someone plea se help me. What am I missing / doing wrong?

Oh wait read that wrong.
Could be that the Dolby Digital Codec (could be a newer or more advanced one, like Dolby Digital Plus) isn't compatible with the S760D. Are there any other output options, like DTS?

First, an update. The 2nd issue seems to have fixed itself. I'm now getting proper volume for the vocals on both 5.1 Dolby Pro Logic (I mistakenly said Dolby Digital in my first post) as well as 2.1 (DPL switched off). When I hooked it up it was playing Life Story from Netflix, which is not encoded in 5.1. That may have been the issue - the encoding of the source material - which cut the vocals out from everything but the subwoofer. David Attenborough sounded like he had Barry White's vocal chords transplanted into him. When I later tried the movie Book of Eli, also off Netflix, and which is encoded in 5.1, everything was great.

To answer your Q yes, there is a 3rd option on the TV, DTS 2:5. Tried it, and it also is giving me all the correct frequencies from each speaker.

HOWEVER, the volume still seems a little soft. Now when I say "soft", it's taking into account all the stuff I've heard about this speaker. It's actually loud enough that I can feel the bass and the room is filled with sound when turned all the way up to 60 (max volume). I just thought it would be louder, is all. I'm just wondering if there is a run in period for new speakers, during which the amp doesn't give full volume. To protect or run in the speakers, maybe?

Either that or I'm getting deaf from all the abuse growing up playing with SPL car audios

Doesn't the S760D have a 'Volume Boost' function? If it works like how it is named, maybe that would work. Have you tried that?
Is the volume consistent? I mean, is the low volume only for dialogues? Also make sure that you're not in some sort of volume reduction mode (like Night Mode). Maybe have a go at turning Dynamic Range Compression on or off (but that feature is only encoded in Dolby Digital IINM).

If switching between all the available codecs and their various settings fail, and you still get low volumes, then it could be a number of things. Your hearing, S760D's design, or faulty receiver/amp section in the unit.

hello, my cat pissed on the front subwoofer grill, how do i remove it to clean the sub ?

Hey, already pm'ed you

But if others is curious, it only takes a ballpoint pen to slowly pry the grill out. It is only friction fit. No glue

Anyone here know where to purchase Edifier S760D remote online? Remote model RC76?
