New speaker problem

[coolbeans]

Bought a 2.1 edifier speaker. The speaker has a FM radio. Sound good but the aux input volume is very soft, need to increase volume a lot. Pc line out sound muffled and caused discomfort in one ear (with Tinnitus) after one, two hours session, maybe because of using treble equaliser.
What is the issue? Previous speaker sound alright, but not working anymore.
Buy a new aux cable and try?

Dell A425? That one was good despite its looks

But shouldn't sound too far off in terms of volume and quality.

I presume both your L and R speakers sound the same volume. Can you measure this with a mic or your phone and post the recording?

Speakerjack and line out jack only meant different things before 2000, unker.

No. Silver squarish block subwoofer.
Both left and right speakers same volume.
With only one working speaker but sound better and louder than the new one. Dell one set at 20%+ windows audio volume Vs ~100% edifier. But Dell speaker volume knob spoilt, so dunno what's the setting.

Will take some time to measure the YouTube video clips audio files.

I don't see any distortion from either recording. So it should be the frequency response that's the issue here.

It is common to feel "muffled-er" if you were accustomed to sharp-sounding computer speakers previously. But you should never add extra treble especially when using speakers without a tweeter.

previous speaker

surprise that new one is available at carousell for 50

some youtube songs sound alright but
some songs/drama serials / variety shows sound muffled
have to enable volume equaliser to boost volume
