Sound only comes through subwoofer

Question

The sound on my windows 7 machine only comes through the subwoofer. No sound comes through the speakers.

Any idea why? Or what I can do to fix this problem.

Answer 1

Here's a list of things to check:

• Are your speakers plugged in properly?
• If it's a stereo speaker set, the subwoofer probably plugs into one of the speakers, or the speakers might plug into the subwoofer, depending on what kind you have (I've seen both).
• If you are using surround sound speakers, is the computer configured for surround output?
• If the speakers have an external amplifier, make sure that the speakers are properly connected to the amplifier, and the computer is connected to the computer properly.
• Try the speakers with another computer, or with another compatible device.
