I am trying to hookup my AL subwoofer to my existing comp system.Inserting a wire jack into one of the comp spkrs and subwoofer shuts the sound off.?? It is a FMC0034326 Altec Lansings Subwoofer.Thanks.
You can't just do that. Your sound card needs to have a specific jack just for subwoofers. If you plug it into the speakers, the computer recognizes the subwoofer as a pair of headphones and routes all sound through it. Remember, a subwoofer is not a normal speaker. It only allows a frequency of extremely low sounds (a.k.a. BASS) and won't play anything that you would need a tweeter for.

This system had been great, it's from a purchase (Dell) of a computer. Problem: when first turned on it works fine. Some time later, I don't have any sound. I would love to know if there is a thermal problem some where or what. I hate to throw it away. The fuse in the rear is good. Anyone know what I can check to see if it can be fixed?
