I then plugged both the Promedia speakers and line level controller each into an Amazon Alexa smart plug and created a group for both called "Klipsch". I can now power both on/off simultaneously via voice, tablet, computer, etc and then use the remote from the line leveler to control the volume on the speakers. Just be careful and set your volume on the speakers and line leveler evenly so not to overwhelm. I turned the line leveler down and set the speakers to roughly 40% of max. Works like a charm.
To sweeten the pot, I purchased a used Klipsch Promedia 2.1 bluetooth volume control pod off Ebay. Only difference from that pod and the one on this set is the addition of bluetooth. For those that do not know, Klipsch released a set of the 2.1 Promedia's awhile back that included bluetooth capability but did not have the THX certification. Bluetooth functionality sat in the control pod but for some reason those speakers lacked the THX cert. If you do go that route, just make sure you search for a pod with the VGA style connector for these certified speakers and not the din connector from the older style (I think they made both syles with bluetooth).
I now have a THX certified set with power on/off functionality, bluetooth and remote control. That being said, I could have prob gotten another speaker set with most functions inclusive for about the same price I spent here, but prob not the same quality and no the fun in that
Hope this gives some folks ideas

FYI, the Logitech 530 and the 540 5.1 sets are actually really good sets for around the same price range. Not sure if they still make them anymore... but if you're into surround gaming then I DEFINITELY recommend them if you can find them.

Question: I have the older Logitech 5.1 (Logitech X-530 5.1) but it always sound like the center is 'lacking'. Is this something a dedicated sound card can help with or is it just the speakers being dated?
And I would love a desktop puck control with headphone jack. Are there anything people recommend for that with these?

I also use the 1/8" jacks to connect the speakers to my sound card (you'll use a total of 3... 1 for center/sub, 1 for front pair, 1 for rear pair). If you think there may be a problem disconnect the other 2 and leave the center/sub plugged in and start playing an mp3 that you know how it should be sounding. While it's playing (loudly), push in and start playing with the jack at the computer side (listening for static or a change of sound) and then do it at the subwoofer side. If you're still not sure, swap that cable with one of the other cables.
Finally, in your Device Manager, you should be able to adjust the levels of your 5.1 setup ,,, maybe your center/sub are set too low?
let me know what you find out as now you have my curiosity peaked....
