Logitech's new Wireless Music system for PC
Logitech's new Wireless Music system for PC Logitech has released a new wireless music system, which I just purchased to get around an audio problem I was having connecting my PC to my home theater receiver. For anyone who's ever tried this, you may have encountered an issue called ground loop, where the PC can transmit a low frequency hum to the receiver, due to the receiver and PC being on different electrical circuits. The good news is with wireless, the hum is gone, as there is obviously no wire for the electrical difference to travel on. The bad news is the product is currently ignoring my PC speakers, and I have yet to find a way to get audio to play to both the receiver and PC speakers. The sound quality is very good, as I have seen some concerns about that in articles about the product. If Logitech can find a way to bring my PC speakers on in addition to the receiver feed, I will be a very happy customer.
