Attaching stereo amp to Dell PC

If it’s an active sub change you plug point and check, also try the power button on the sub by clicking it once or twice

Your laptop has a High Definition integrated sound card which will do just fine for low-to mid end recording. You'll just need to hook up your audio source to the Microphone input on your laptop using a standard DIN plug, just like the one used for headphones. Usually the plug is a stereo input so you can have full stereo recording using the Microphone input.

Go to Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices
Ensure that sound card is the default playback and default recording device.
Also, if this is a Dimension 5100, then there is a possibility that the system has a upgrade sound card installed in a PCI expansion slot (Below the video card)
If the system has an expansion card, (Soundblaster) then the integrated on-board audio should be disabled in the BIOS (If integrated is on and an expansion card is installed, you get a conflict and no sound) Normally, if the system has an expansion card, the ports are covered with a black plastic cover. If the BIOS defaults are ever reset, then onboard audio needs to be disabled again.

Some factory radios have external amplifiers for the sound. I would check all the fuses in the vehicle and see if one is blown. That would be my guess. When the main was replaced, it might have sent a strong enough current and popped a fuse to your amplifier.

my brother has a 1993 Honda accord and had the same issue, we put it different speakers and it worked fine, don't know what the problem was but it worked

I may add alot of times older equipment has a hard time reading burned cd's because when ever burning cd's the pits that are burnt into the cd are shallow. The faster the cd burns the more shallow it is... one thing you can try to do is burn at 2x in the WAV format cause it most diffenately will not read mp3 format being that old equipment. You may get lucky burning at 2x because the pits that it burns in the cdrom will be deeper. As the clarification said do use CD-R's. If this doesn't work at 2x chances are that equipment is just not going to be able to read a burnt cd period. Good Luck!!! I hope this works for you!!!

If the car has a built in amp/s for speakers would need to hook the wire from car amp/s up to amp turn on or power ant from radio

You must make stereo cable (adapter), from 2 mono outputs to 1 stereo.

Your turntable is a preamp. Your amplifier might be going bad. did you connect it into phono? dont connect it into the cd or dvd input because those wont work.

you might of overloaded your sound card , take it out turn your computer on .turn it off again reconect your sound card and try using your sound.your computer needs to reset the sound devices.Remember your soundcard isnt like amps found in souped up cars,
