Can get soundcard to work with my new studio speakers

Best to use the line out jacks. The phone jack is stereo and you would have to use a wye cable for that.

1. Verify that the speakers are plugged into the correct jack on the soundcard.

2. Check volume on both the speakers as well as Volume properties on the computer. You may have mute checked or the volume turned down.

If neither of the above correct the problem, you may have an issue with your soundcard. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the driver. If all else fails, you may have a faulty soundcard.

Connecting Full-Size Speakers
1. Step 1 Insert the red and white plugs on a set of RCA audio cables into the right and left audio "OUT" jacks on the back of the TV.
   
2. Step 2 Connect the other ends of the cables to a free pair of audio "IN" jacks on the amplifier.
   
3. Step 3 Strip 1/2 inch of insulation from the speaker wires, and connect a pair of wires to the left and right terminals on the back of each speaker using the red wire for the right audio connection and the other wire for the left.
   
4. Step 4 Connect the other ends of the speaker wires to a pair of stereo speaker terminals on the back of the amplifier. The wires attach by raising spring-loaded clips on the back of the amp to reveal a hole for inserting each wire.
   
5. Step 5 Set the amplifier selector to the set of audio jacks connected to the TV to enjoy stereo sound from the television.
   
Connecting Self-Powered Speakers
6. Step 1 Insert the RCA plugs on the Y adapter into the TV's Audio "OUT" jacks.
   
7. Step 2 Connect the mini-plug on the wire attached to the right-hand self-powered speaker to the mini-plug jack on the Y adapter.
   
8. Step 3 Plug in the audio cable and mini-plug from the left-hand speaker into the Audio "OUT" jack on the back of the right-hand speaker.
   
9. Step 4 Connect the AC adapter to the power jack on the back of the right-hand speaker, then plug the adapter into an electrical outlet.
   
10. Step 5 Switch on the external speakers and adjust the volume.
    

If I remember correctly, those speakers were supplied with some Gateway computers equipped with a digital soundcard, and the speakers take only digital input.

Take a look at the input plug and compare it to these:



If yours looks like the mono plug, your speakers will only work with the original digital card. Plug them into your new computer and you'll get nothing out of them.

Hope this helps. Thanks for using Fixya!

First, we need to get the terminology correct.

The DJM has "PHONO" (RCA) jacks, not "phone jacks" of which the current usage is normally the 1/4 inch diameter.

You would be going INTO the Berhinger 1/4 inch jacks on the back of the speakers since you are not using the three pin XLR connections that are used for balanced lines which the DJM does NOT have.

So you should have RCA plugs to 1/4 inch plug cables. The inputs on the 1/4 inch will take TRS connections. IT IS possible you may need to use an RCA to TRS cable with the signal on the "ring" rather than the "tip" of the connector.

A test of the speakers is to touch the tip of the RCA plug with the speaker on and you should hear a hum.

PLEASE be aware that these speakers are INTENDED for use as studio monitors by the sound man in the booth and NOT for playing loud at a venue for dancers, etc.

You would need to connect the speakers to your computer. There should be a little jack on the back of the monitor marked audio. This will need to be connected to your soundcard jack for front speakers. Once this cable is connected you should have sound from your speakers. Hope this helps.

I installed my soundcard which is the sound blaster SE audigy but when i try to test the sound i see that it does not sound separately.What i have to do to make them sound saperately when i'm testing it ?

well, if you put the green cable on the green connector on your sound card, you,ll be fine, and see if work, fine, depending on your configuration speakers, 5.1 or 2 way, you can test if the sound go on the 2 speakers.you also check if something is bad with the other speakers

I am not sure about that brand but on my Roland Speakers, the TRS jack lives inside the XLR. I first missed it. Take an XLR and try to connect. I can't imagine that they would not have XLR especially for studio monitors. Also are your speakers passive or active, that is something that I would seriously at. No amplitude, low signal, no active.
