Question about Vizio L37 Television

Vizio L42HDTV10A sound problems

I have a Vizio L42HDTV10A that has a very muffled sound when the Bass control is turned up past 90. Turning the bass down cures the problem but then it sounds like a tin can. Any suggestions? Does it on my wireless headset also, so I would think it's not the speakers..

Is there a sound card that could be easily replaced?

I have an L42HDTV10A Plasma. My sound is fine until I turn on surround mode. Then it sounds like a tin can, or at least very thin. Thought surround was supposed to be more rich.

In my case, turning the surround sound OFF is what fixed the problem. The bass contibutes most to the perception of the location of a sound. If surround is ON without surround speakers connected, the internal TV speakers can only take the place of what would be the front speakers in a surround system. So turn surround OFF and set your bass preference wherever you want it. That worked for me.

My 10 w7 has vocals and bass now my vocals sounds muffled what can i do to get rid of my vocals and keep my bass???

You're going to need what's called in the audio world as a crossover. These can be as simple as a capacitor or inductor in series with the speaker, and can be as complex as you like. I'd advise using an inductor in front of the speaker, of around 8mH. This will leave bass intact, but reduce the vocals.

You can calculate your own crossovers at http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/crosscalc.asp

There's wiring diagrams to help you.

No bass and muffled quiet sound... help

No, to make this connection correctly you need a pre amp. you can find them online for about 25 and up. your ipod does not have a pre amp section and is sending a very weak signal to your amplifier. A pre amp is the fix. Hope this helps

I plugged int he rca's but he the lowest sounding bass possibe

kicker subs arnt ment to hit the lowest bass, unless you go spend a **** load of money, im talking 3000 wat amp, ant some 15' or bigger subs. the most commen kickers are 12' subs, so im asuming you have 12' subs, if not, this (said lightly) should work. try turning the bass boost screw on the amp to the middle of its turning range. this will offer the greatest balance between high and low bass. if you want more low bass, turn it past half. if you want more high bass, turn it down. i have mine set to mid range, but i also recently purchased 2 18' kickers. with every new set of subs, you should spend at least 15 min tuning the amp to get the best performance. every sub is different. hope this helps, good luck.

Muffled sounds from speakers suddenly on our boat

Hi airnurse

If you are using a cassette deck for a source of music, then it will have dirty heads. This can be cured by using a head cleaner cassette. Muffled sound from the loudspeakers usually points to a faulty high frequency driver(tweeter). Is the sound muffled on radio or other sources as well. If so, then you have faulty tweeter(s) to any speakers that are muffled.

Of course in saying that, you should check that someone has not just turned the treble control all the way down, or the bass control alll the way up :) Pays to check.

I am more than happy to answer any other questions you may have about it, just give me a hoy :) If you are still unsure, or have problems, then before you give a rating for this advice, please get back to me and we can try some more things.
Thanks for using FixYa, If you consider the advice I have given you as sound, a FixYa rating is a great reward for my efforts to help you. Cheers.

Setting low pass and bass eq

Hello, i have a hifonics brutus also, in the manual it states to set the eq at half way, so that there is no clipping or at least to prevent clipping , the eq will make the bass punchier, if you do go pass half way, i would recommend to readjust your gain settings, also check your head unit settings and make sure everything is flat, bass, mid bass etc. example i had my eq past half but i had my gain at mid way, it was hitting hard, then i tried turning the eq all the way down and the turning up the gain and the bass was smoother so it depends where you set it, and what settings you have on your head unit tone control (bass, treble etc)

JVC RX-618V SOUND IS MUFFLED

check to see if the radio is clear. If it is it may be the signal going into the amplifier. if it is muffled as well, depending if you have an Equalizer hooked to the unit. This also could cause the problem. Finally check the bass, treble balance and volume knob but turn them back and forth while unit is on and see if signal clears up momentarily. if this is the case the control knobs need to be cleaned. Also spin the connection jacks {RCAs} in the rear and see if this clears it up. If not you may have to have the unit serviced by a professional.
