Been awhile... but don't you hafta select the soundsticks in the sound pref?

Don't know... but my late Father switched to an iMac when he was 70, so I got used to the "over the phone troubleshooting" stuff, and found that starting with the simple solutions solved 99% of the problems.

Are these the ones with the iSub or am I thinking of something completely different?

They're the clear stick speakers with a sub that looks strikingly similar to the isub

The only difference is the amplifier hardware and the LED (which is enough reason to get soundsticks.. blue LED!!!)

My isub has a green LED, they're meant as "sound enhancers" and work with ANY set of speakers, including onboard for g3 imacs, pro speakers, regular externals, etc.

Soundsticls II are normal speakers.. which totally rawks since you can use it with the ipod or etc

I have not heard the Soundsticks II yet, but if they are even close to the original SoundSticks then they have a winner. They are fantastic sounding speakers.

Cool I will have to look into getting some when I get my new G5... I was wanting the LogiTech 680 ones, but they are HUGE

I like those 680s as well, but I'm thinking that I really don't need surround sound on a PC, and then I'd also have issues with wire-runs, etc.
