I am a computer dummy...How to I connect speakers for sound like music in my computer?

You need to install sound driver first.

adjust your audio setting from the control panel menu and sound menu

You can't use 2 different speaker systems connected to one device output.
You could connect the CA speakers connected to your Roku and improve your TV sound. You could also use your microlab speakers connected to your computer to augment your computer based audio.

not a difficult job ,use a test light to find the`permant 12v live and then the ignition switch 12v supply ,speaker wires are easy ,you will have a say a colour with another wire the same colour but with a stripe in it this is one speaker ,bet advice i can give is to fit an old tape player from the scrapyard then use a dummy tape with a wire on it and when i want my own music and not a the radio i plug my phone into dummy tape and play that ,This will stop drug crazed junkies from stealiing another decent cd player ,although i suspect that whoever took you old one knew a bit because they knew they couldnt sell it without the connection cable .

Hi,
You need to change the sound profile from 2 speaker system to surround sound. You will find this in the control panel area program.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

sounds to me like you may have the monitor speakers connected to the wrong port. It typically connects to the computers Green speaker jack. If it is connected properly, look in the control panel for audio/ speaker properties, change the speaker configuration to stereo speakers, instead of 5.1 speakers. you are likely hearing the rear channel of 5 speaker setup at the moment.

If you connected to a 5.1 surround card and checked and they are connected ok you can hear all the speakers when you play music, movies that are in 5.1 format only. If you want to hear also all of them if you listen to stereo movies/music you must set the sound card to emulate multi channel. Also the player you use to listen music/wath movies must be set to 5.1 and must accept Dolby Digital/ DTS decoding if your sound card doesn't(eg. VLC media player-has integrated DD and DTS decoding and codecs for all tipes/formats).

1. Power to the speakers (make sure they are plugged in!)
2. Make sure the speaker line is plugged into the correct port on your sound card. The connector should be green and possible the port will be green to.
3. Double click the little speaker in the bottom right of the screen (assuming you are using XP/VISTA) and make sure nothing is muted.

Post back with your results.

The only way for you to be able to play music on your mp3 player with those speakers is if you Connect the mp3 player to your PC and play the music threw there.remember you cannot use your speakers for portability it has to be connect to a power outlet constantly in order to work

my left speaker isn't working. I've check the connections. what can I do?
