I have 2 systems - one with Klipsch Promedia 2.1 connected to a Sound Blaster Z sound card and the other Logitech Z623 connected to Sound Blaster AE 5 Pro. Both speakers have the left and right speakers connected to the subwoofer and a 3.5 mm line going from subwoofer to sound on computer.
In the first system - all sounds are coming out of the Left and Right speakers, not the subwoofer. When I do the Microsoft Test or Sound Blaster Console test- Subwoofer sound comes out the right speaker and Left Speaker, Right speaker comes out both. I have them plugged into the Front Left and Right channels on the Sound Blaster Z card. Tried on board sound and same thing - nothing from subwoofer (not discounting that the subwoofer may be fried which is why it's coming out the speaker).
On the 2nd system - if I plug into the Front speaker panel, only left and right speakers work. If I plug into Headphones, all work but at greatly reduced sound (expected). If I plug into Center/Subwoofer - only subwoofer works.
I've been through the forums and in the Sound Blaster Console, I have it set to 2.1, turned off Full range speakers and have Bass Redirectlon and Subwoofer Gain on.
I'm thinking about getting a 3.5mm femaie to 2 maie splitter - plug 3.5 mm from subwoofer into splitter and then 1 of the males into the Front Speaker connection and the other into the center/subwoofer to manually sort the signal.
Anyone else run into this or have thoughts on it?
Thanks!
