if it's saying it's passive then that means it has no amplification to push it throught the speakers and you're just getting the input signal. i don't know how that relates to the answer but i hope this helps in some way.
hempilation311 Reviewed by hempilation311 on . I know that i should ask this here. Because i'm insane anyways i have this problem my speakers are really quiet i turned up the volume on the computer all the way but they're still just a whisper i can bareley hear them above the comp fan. now they say that they are "passive" and i assume that is why there is no volume control on the speakers themselves so if anyone could help i would be sooo thankful because have no sound sucks but haveing very very quiet sound is just as bad!!!! :mad: Rating: 5
