Where do you plug in 'vibe optisound subwoofer', the (green) line out at rear of pc? the above subwoofer has 4 rca portals, using a 3.5 jack adapter, which rca portals require to be connected to the pc? I wish to use the above subwoofer in conjuntion with existing desktop stereo speakers speaker
Hi. A model number and the speaker models will help.
Sounds like you need to go from the green 3.5 mm jack to the two phone sockets marked "input" on the sub. White left, Red right.
"output" RCA sockets look to go to your speakers but without model numbers I can't see if they'd need to be powered or not.

The easiest solution to use your subwoofer is to buy an amp for it. Any old stereo receiver from a garage sale will probably do just fine.
You can even now turn off your subwoofer / adjust the volume easily now!

That type of subwoofer is not used with this receiver. This receiver actually outputs no power for a subwoofer, therefore only needs a plain ol' rca signal wire. This is due to the fact that you need a powered sub... one that you plug in to the wall and it has its own built in amp. you simply run an rca from yyour 505s to that sub.

I have the same setup. Are you going out of the subwoofer output of the reciever? (it's purple.) then into the LFE jack of the subwoofer (also purple.) That's the only connection you need besides power. If you have those right, try using your cable for something else to make sure the cable is good. Is the indicator of the subwoofer green? Mine comes on with the reciever. Good luck!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Never connect speaker outputs to anything that looks different, like RCA connections. Can you say crispy critter?
Your receiver sounds like it won't send specific Subwoofer of Low Frequency Effects information to the Sub so we're cheating by adding a sub. If you named the model of each we may have a better shot at naming the output you need to use.
I'm curious. How did you have the old passive sub working?
Basically what you may have to do is feed (probable) full range audio to the Sub using an RCA splitter to combine the L and R outputs found, oh, at any Tape Output that you're not using. The Sub will only reproduce what it can. The presence of higher frequencies won't bother it. If it has its own volume control you'll be able to balance its volume with the rest of your speakers.
