ste91 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 **just so nobody gets confused this is audio for in the house, not in the car, since I'm guessing people will think I'm talking about car audio**And sorry if it sounds like I'm talking a load of rubbish, I don't really know what I'm doing to be honest.I've been given some speakers (nice big ones) an amplifier, and a graphic equalizer.As I said, I really don't know much about audio but I am fairly good at working things out. What I'm trying to do is connect it all up to the computer to play music from the computer, but obviously the stuff is designed to work from a CD player or something, (or in this case a tape player because this stuff is like 10-15 years old).Anyhow, I've got some computer speakers which came with a subwoofer, which has the red and white things to connect the speakers (computer speakers) to. What I've done is took the computer speakers out and used these ports as a way to connect the computer to everything else.I did manage to set it up and get it working but it would only play through one speaker.This is how I've got it set up:Computer to subwoofer subwoofer to equalizerequalizer to amplifieramp to speakersIt all works, the equalizer works and the amp works, but the sound only comes through one speaker. If I swap the speaker wires round, it plays through the other speaker (which shows that both of them are working) but it will only play one at a time.So my guess is that it's either something is wrong with the amp, OR it's something to do with how the computer plays sound.I'm probably talking a load of bollocks but help is appreciated. Remember it's for in the house, it's not car audio Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 it could be the audio output from the PC man!try goin into the control panel on the pc, in there u will find Sounds and Audio Devices, open that, you'll see and advanced option, click that and at the bottom of the window u'll see the speaker setup option, change output setting about to see if that helps man. theres a whole bunch of options like desk top speakers, monitor speakers etc etc, try them all.if not, it may be the output selector on the amp needs played with.probably wont, but its worth a shot.Phil.
