Sound Activated Cathode Problem

[Lord AnthraX]

I have not a big problem, but a tad annoying one.


I have a 2.1 speaker set up with my 2 speakers next to my monitor, and my bass on the floor.


My computer sits on the desk, away from the ground..


I bought A logysis sound activated 15" cold cathode, installed it and it works great really bright too

But there is a problem....

When I turn it on to sound mode, I put the knob in between on and off so when there is a bass it lights up and such.


I have the speaker set up so its outside my case, but it obviously cant go very far.


My problem is what are my options.


If I bang slightley on the desk, or hit my desk lightly with my mouse then it does it correctly, but when I play a song, I have very minimal or even no response.



I have set the knob so that its as high as it can go with out it automatically being on, so right now its at its at its most sensative.




:sigh: any ideas?

for starters you don't want to have speakers near a monitor (unless it is an LCD of course). i think i remember reading of a mod you could do in which you could wire the sound input directly to the sound controller in place of the microphone.

Also keep your bass away from your computer period. I think I remember reading that the magnets are strong enough to wipe stuff off hd's because now my bass is on the floor and not on desk and I dont remember why.. Lol

Anyway... Does your bass have alot of ummph. Maybe too much that it just feels like your bashing it. I really dont know but just find someone with some cathodes like that or someone who knows about them.
