Speaker Trouble I have a problem with the speakers on my hi-fi. When I play music from my computer through them, there is no problem (suggesting that the speakers themselves are not the problem), but when I use my CD player, the sound only comes out of the left speaker. This is also the case when I plug in my headphones and use the CD player - only comes through one side of the headphones - but again, music played through the auxiliary channel is unaffected.

Michael,

Not being an expert, but having years of experience with electronics, I would think there may be a bad wire connection for the CD unit or a bad unit. If the CD unit is on your PC, you can check the internal connections. There should be a heavier gauge power supply cable and a lighter gauge signal connector. It could be loose at the CD unit or the motherboard. Use an anti-static wrist strap and make sure the power is off. Your cable might be bad and they are easily purchased and replaced. If it is on your "stereo", then check the RCA jacks. You can reverse the left and right RCA jacks to see if the problem is still in the same channel. You could also connect the CD to another line input on your receiver and see if the problem persists.

No sound from my Pure-Fi Express plus into my 4th gen Nan Ipod

Hi, while your pure express plus you just purchased is not playing out any sound is because, the speaker that enable you to play the sound when you play music through the ipod is faulty and it needs to be replaced with another one for it to function properly again.

After changing the speaker that is faulty with a new speaker, you can now start enjoying the music again through the internal speaker.

Take care.

Itouch charging

Hi there,

Some speaker systems which are only compatible for charging the ipod nanos and classics do not work with the iPod Touch and the iPhone, the internals are slighly different from one another which will not allow that speaker system to charge your iTouch.

To play & Charge your touch, i suggest getting a speaker system that supports the iPod touch platform.

Hope this helps ?!

Logitech R-10 speakers sound problem

in control panel, go to hardware and sound, click on realtech audio manager with your logitech speakers plugged in, and then you should be able to chose your speaker configuration. If that doesn't work, try going to sound, and configuring your speaker setup there. Realtech has different settings you can click on, including volume, as well as various equalizer settings which you choose if you want to sound like you are in a sadium, bathtub, etc.

Connect BX8A speaker to PC

Hello waddragon,

First, let's start with the BX8a. Those are powered speakers (built-in amplifier in each) so, you do not need a pre-amp. What you need to connect them to your computer is a 3.5mm to XLR cable OR a 3.5mm to 1/4" TRS cable, also known as 3.5mm to two 1/4" mono plugs (the back of the BX8a has inputs that accept either type). Cables are available at most any electronics stores. Make sure you buy a long enough cable to run from the back of the computer to where the speakers will be.
It sounds that you only have one BX8a which means you'll be listening to only one channel of the stereo output. In any case, make sure before connecting the speaker(s) to the computer that speaker power is off and volume control is at minimum. Connect the 3.5mm cable end to Line Out 1 jack of the X-Fi sound card and either the XLT or TRS ends to the speaker(s) input(s). Play some audio content on your computer, turn on speaker(s) and slowly increase volume to a safe level. Everything should work fine.
Let me know how it goes.
