This is what I did I brought myself some new leads to plug the Sub into the PC thinking that was what it needed, there isn't any adapters on any of the leads now
right,that's better.now that you narrowed it down,
we can now check if your sound card's sound chip
really throws vocals thru your sub speaker.
having a PCI sound card is better though.
first,take off again all the leads from the rear output
sockets of your motherboard EXCEPT the lead of the
CENTER/SUBWOOFER.
when done,pull the RCA plugs out (at the back) from your
subwoofer's input sockets.
remember,those RCA plugs are not left or right channels
(white & red or black & red).one of that plug is the
CENTER SPEAKER LINE & the other one is your SUBWOOFER LINE.
with that 3.5 mm jack plugged in to the center/subwoofer (only)
ouput & the RCAs not yet plugged in at the back of your
subwoofer enclosure,adjust the volume controller of your
subwoofer to atleast 30 percent or to a level that you think is
enough for you to hear the sound clearly when you play a music.
now,play a music.then plug ONE of that RCA into a socket,
(at the back of your SUB enclosure) when you didnt get a sound,
plug that same RCA to the other socket.& when you get a sound
but too loud or noisy,then thats your CENTER SPEAKER LINE.
(mark the color of that RCA plug).
then test the other RCA & do the same as above.you should get
only ONE channel for your SUBWOOFER.now,when you get the subwoofer
line,you should only hear a pure BASS/LOW.you can increase the volume
for you to hear if any vocals is injected.
if you can still hear vocals through your sub speaker,then your
sound chip is designed to do that process,as it's obviously
your sub speaker is the ONLY connected where you can hear a sound.
when done following those steps,please post back & describe how was it
working at the moment.
