BA7800 hi Gurus! I am trying to make my Boston BA7800 speakers work with my computer... I connect the connector cable the way it says on this page, http://support.gateway.com/s/SOUND/speakers/7003229/700322934.shtml , but I can only get the subwoofer and 2 speakers to work at a time. If I switch the black and green connectors going into the sound card, then the OTHER two speakers work, but not all of them at the same time. What's up with that? laura

ok..so you have it set up with the correct connection, right? and you're probably using the sound card that came with the system, yes?

ok..then you'll need to open the control panel, and go to sound settings, and in the master control, you'll see a variety of options for what kind of speakers you are using. Choose wisely..it's likely that the system is set for default stereo, hence your performance as indicated.

got backup for your Gateway?

nope..if you are connected properly behind woofer and to sound card, then follow my instructions at bottom of my solution, changing sound settings to quadraphonic. nope..if you are connected properly behind woofer and to sound card, then follow my instructions at bottom of my solution, changing sound settings to quadraphonic.

laura,

if you are connected per the instructions, and your sound settings are on quad, you should be good to go, without the Y connector, which is used when you have two stereo systems, which is NOT the case here.
