Logitech S500 Black 5.1 Speakers Drivers

As most of you have noticed by now, it's extremely difficult to find software drivers in an audio interface that also work with 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound in Windows. Focusrite makes awesome drivers for Windows that work in both ASIO and WDM. I previously fought for over two years with an expensive Antelope Discreet 8 Synergy Core interface. Antelope's drivers on Windows are slow and unreliable AND they do not work in any way for 5.1 surround setups outside of the DAW. I consulted with the Antelope audio engineers and they said that their drivers will not work for 5.1 games or movies. I'm never buying another Antelope interface ever again! The Antelope hardware is great, but the drivers are garbage for Windows users. There's a night and day different between Antelope's drivers and Focusrite's drivers in Windows. The Focusrite Control software also searches and handles any firmware updates automatically. After you install the Focusrite Control drivers, in you Windows Sound options you can click on the Focusrite USB driver and get a Configure button at the bottom. Clicking on that Configure button takes you to the Speaker Configuration where you have the following choices: Stereo, Quadraphonic, 5.1 Surround, and 7.1 Surround. From there any games you play that have 5.1 surround like, Alien Isolation, Division 2, Tome Raider, etc. will work perfectly! Also movies going through my Cyberlink Power DVD software sound amazing! By the way, for my setup, I'm running the Scarlet 18i20 3rd Gen, two Adam A77Xs and three Adam A7Xs (looking to also get an Adam Sub8 in the near future). So if you are a 5.1 sound junky like I am, and you want your DAW, your games, and your movies to run through your audio interface with reliable drivers that just work in Windows... then you'll want to stick with Focusrite!

I bought the Z906 to replace my aging Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.1 system with a failing amp. I loved the Klipsch speakers, but sadly Klipsch (and seemingly everyone else other than Logitech) has stopped making 5.1 multimedia systems. Thankfully Logitech makes a pretty good unit. The real draw to something like this, in my opinion, is if you want a relatively compact, reasonably-priced, good-sounding setup that you can easily plug a computer into. I've used this sort of setup in my living room with great results, and at a fraction of the cost of buying separate components. Since my computer has pretty solid sound-processing capability, I don't have the need for all the extra features of a stand-alone receiver. The Logitech Z906 packs quite a punch and sounds almost as good as the Klipsch in most situations. Pluses for the Z906 are it's built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoding (for things like an XBox) and its included remote control. True, it doesn't handle the Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD soundtracks on Blu-Ray discs, but my computer does, and so the analog pass-through from the PC into the Z906 makes this unnecessary in my case anyway. The Z906 seems solidly built, and is easy to install with its standard speaker mount points and spring-lock speaker wire connectors. One very minor quibble is that the power cable is permanently attached to the sub (the Klipsch used a detachable C14 computer-style plug). Overall, I'm very happy with the Z906.

I love it just wish I could hook up more speakers together. Wish I could do true 5.1 surround

Once I got the drivers installed, which is very easy right off of the logitech website, the panel works great! Are use it in flight simulator 2020. I don’t know what all the switches do it yet, but I’m learning! :-)

The Logitech c930e webcam is available again, after the great demand that resulted from all the work-from-home necessary due to the Covid19 public health problem. We had been using a much older Logitech C920 webcam that we purchased years ago, which was quite useful considering the age of the technology. However, this webcam provides a much wider field of view. Our older webcam has a smaller 70+ degree field of view, but this 930e has a 90 degree field of view. It also has 1080p HD quality resolution, enhanced lighting and low light compensation, digital zoom, a removable privacy shutter, and many other features. We are very happy with this webcam. This model no longer comes with a Zeiss lens, but it is listed as a quality glass lens. The webcam works well, right out of the box, but the enhanced software drivers do not. Windows 10 loads generic software drivers automatically and it is a bit of hassle getting the better Logitech drivers to install. The generic drivers work fairly well, but the extra features and enhanced video provided with the Logitech software are not to be found. B & H Photo shipped promptly and the package arrived safely. Thank you!!!

Each of these Logitech branded panels work right out of the box in X-Plane 11 once you download the appropriate drivers and the X-Plane plugin from the Logitech website. I didn’t even need any third party drivers like many others have suggested. Kudos to B&H for the fast and reliable shipping every time! I’ve experienced constant frustrations ordering Logitech panels from Amazon and either never received them or experiencing daily carrier delays. For that reason I will only purchase these panels from B&H exclusively.

The Logitech Illuminated Keyboard is one of the best computer peripherals I have ever owned. I tend to have very sloppy typing skills, but I strongly believe this keyboard has greatly improved both my speed and dexterity. The key-press motion is swift and fluid, and the special design of each key compensates for off-center alignments of the typist's fingers. The box contains a CD with Windows drivers, but a USB to PS/2 converter is not included. This should not be an issue for most modern computer systems. The most recent drivers for this keyboard can be downloaded from the Logitech website. The drivers can be used to disable the caps lock key, and can also configure additional keyboard functionality. The keyboard lights up nicely in the dark, so it can be used when the lights are off. The back-lighted keys have a very small magnitude of luminous intensity, so the light is generally not visible during the day. The backlight is very noticeable in a darkened room, but it does not destroy the user's night vision. You can adjust the backlight intensity using a small key with a lightbulb logo; this key is situated in the upper right-hand area of the keyboard. I've found that this keyboard has greatly increased my productivity. I would strongly recommend the keyboard for professional work in creative media, computer science or engineering.

This 2.1 system by far is the best set-up I have ever owned from Logitech. Speakers are crisp and clean, lows are low and highs or high. I use these while gaming, as my PA speakers when I'm making my style of music(electro house) on FLStudio and mixing while using my DJ Pioneer DDJ-800 controller. Thanks Logitech for making such a fine product, and never discontinue these great speakers. Thanks

So here it is I bought these speakers and just received them today. I had a 5.1 Yamaha Sound System but because of a baby and the potential to pull the tower down upon themselves I decided I needed something more compact. So Roku you were the first choice because price wise you knocked it out of the park with the $149.00 price tag that I was able to snag them at. I get them home and let me tell you the hook up was so effortless and simple. I loved the fact that you could place the speakers either way you wanted and be able to program which was left and which was right. I have already tested several movies and the clarity of sound and volume of speech is perfect. There is one draw back that I would like to address and that is that when in game mode these speakers shut off and the sound goes through the TV speakers which I expect shall be addressed in an update I hope sooner rather than later. If you have a RokuTV then these are the speakers for you. I assume a center, sub, and rear speakers will eventually be an option to add and if so Roku let me know because I would love to test them out for you. Get these speakers! You will not be disappointed.

Great unit. I’m very happy with it. I’m running energy connoisseur speakers 5.1 system. Should I get the MM7055?
