Creative Gigaworks T20 Volume....

I decided to buy a pair of Creative Gigaworks T20 Series II speakers as i wanted some semi-decent speakers that don't dominate my desk (or my wallet :mrgreen:)... I'm actually very impressed with them so far, but there's one little niggle! The volume knob clicks to turn them on, but then i have to turn them a fair amount before i start to hear anything... There appears to be a 'dead spot' in the the volume control.

Does anyone else here have these speakers? How far do you have to turn the knob before you start to hear anything?

Cheers!

I have some old Creatives, but not the T20s. Does this happen in Windows, or in particular apps ?

It happens in Windows, XBMC and games etc... I don't think it's a software issue as it also happens if i hook up an ipod directly to the speakers via the aux-in port. It seems i have to turn the volume knob quite a bit before i start to hear anything, then i only have to turn it a tiny bit for the volume to increasep by a considerable amount! I think there's some kind of volume 'dead spot'.

Nah I think they're like that. I have a pair and after it 'clicks' I have to turn it a little bit before anything happens. Not too much though but a bit nonetheless. And then they get loud quick. It's annoying late at night when you're trying to listen at low volume alright.

I no longer have my T20 II but I remember having to turn the volume knob about 30-40% of the way until I heared a thing. Not to say it's a fault but I reckon there is a dead spot and echoing Zhaoman it gets loud quickly after that.

Cheers for the replies, i think it's just the way they were designed as i know someone with a pair of T10's that do the same thing!
