you use the conveter to convert the volt.

This soundsystem us USB based and you'll need to re install the drivers from Bose. If you
can't find proper drivers. you could patch into this soundsystem by taking sound from your soundcard vial line out and plugging it into the aux in on the systems volume control. Also since this system is USB it uses its own sound device. check under control panel --- sound to make sure the computer is using the correct device. Also check your volume control to make sure that the
system is active and not muted.

I'm using a new mac pro 5.1 and this method works best for me. Turn off your computer unplug your bose companion 5 and the usb cable as well. Unplug keyboard usb plug it in the front of your tower, plug back your bose system and usb cable voila. From now on you'll never have problems ever again :D

To be honest, it sounds as if the system was destroyed . I'm no Electronics Engineer , but smoke and liquid should not be coming out of speakers.

Make sure that all your drivers have been updated. Also ensure that all Windows updates have been complete.

Hi ,
If it says it needs a AC 110V connection , you will fry at least the sub . Don't do it ! Connect the device to an AC 220 / 110 V transformer you can find on the net or in all specialized retail shops .
Best regards

Try another set of speakers to eleiminate the BOSE speakers as being the issue (even cheap ones will do). If the problem does not re-occur, the issue is with the speakers.
If all the speaker jacks are plugged in correctly, I would consider returning this set, as it looks like the issue is within the circuitry of the Woofer

You will need to change entire power supply/distribution circuit since you have managed to fry it all with twice the voltage required by the system. Speakers should be OK only the circuitry needs to be rectified and too by a professional/expert technician ...........sodeep
