Ok, I bought some Gigaware speakers (8watt GigaWare 2.0 2/bass subwoofer) and they work just fine, playing internet content and MP3s- until I try to play a DVD. Then, one channel of the audio disappears- unfortunately the channel with the main dialogue and music, so watching any DVD becomes an interesting exercise in the study of sound editing, but not much fun as entertainment. Adjusting the balance controls in the Windows hardware controller does not help. Do I need a separate driver? What am I overlooking?

More than likely the sub is burned out.

If you have audio cables from your source connected to the capture card, then your Recording device needs to be the Line In of the capture card.

If you connect the source to the Line In on the computer, then you use that as the default recording device. Until I set this, the default audio recording device was my microphone (not connected at the time). In Windows, you need the Manage Audio Devices Recording tab. (In Windows 7 and 8, it's under Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound > Manage Audio Devices.)

If you are recording something playing on your computer, then the stereo mix option may work.

You should be able to use any video&audio software if the drivers are compatible. Thus the software you used for the video recording should work. (Stereo mix may be an exception - not all sound cards actually work when you try to record that content.)

I hope this helps.

You seem to have opened up your speakers already. So, I think you should use your creativity to displace the parts a little so that no contact takes place even at max volume.

it is completley possible that your sub has in fact blown itself out mine has some CRAZY excursion to the point ive turned down the bass on my laptop in hopes to keep it alive so order a new sub SPEAKER if the speaker works the amps FINE

ck its compatibility

Sounds like the laser failed. Return it for replacement.
