    Just wondering what we all use for our audio levels in the IDT control panel (if you use any other software then please mention). Maybe if we try out each other profiles then we might get a better idea of what is most accurate. If you use the SRS then please post a screen shot too. Also, don't just think about how the different frequencies sound but how much they distort at higher volumes etc. for a fuller review. Then maybe in a bit we can colaborate our profiles and assign them nmbers and make a poll as to which people like most.

    for me I have:

    31hrz: 2db
    62hrz: 3db
    125hrz: 4db
    250hrz: 4db
    500hrz: 1db
    1Khrz: 2db
    2Khrz: 0db
    4Khrz: 1db
    8Khrz: -1db
    16Khrz: -3db

    I use this profile for the laptops speakers but I use a flat profile for my main external speakers. My profile seems to sound a bit hollow, like speaking into a watering can, idk what frequency range this means it's missing. I always use the SRS though, whether on the integrated speakers or my external ones because it makes it sound quite nice.
