Hello all. I've got a new speaker setup, but have encountered a few issues in getting it hooked up properly.
I have the following components in the loop:
Auzentech Prelude X-Fi sound card
Pair of M-Audio BX8 D2's
Bic H100 Subwoofer
I currently have them connected as follows:
Triple headphone splitter cable plugs into the "front" jack on my sound card. I have a single male 1/4" to single male 1/8" cable going from each of the speakers into two of the three female connectors on the triple headphone splitter, and an RCA to 1/8" cable going from the subwoofer to the last female connector on the triple headphone splitter.
I encounter the following issues:
1. The speakers both seem to be playing on the left channel. Nothing is being output on the right channel. When I test the channels, both of them emit the noise when I click on the left speaker, while neither one of them puts out any sound when I click on the right. It's very noticeable when playing games where sound should be coming from my left, but instead it is silent.
2. The subwoofer suddenly is insanely weak. It is putting out sound, but even on full volume it is barely audible. When I had it paired up with my old Swans, it would rattle the whole house.
Previously I had a pair of Swans M200 MkII's connected with the same subwoofer and same sound card, and didn't run into either of these issues. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
