What speakers would match soundcard
Ok, I have this Asus mobo, but can't get my 2.1 speakers to work right. It
says that if I have 2.1, I need to connect the front speakers into one jack, and the sub into another. Only problem is that the speakers plug into the sub, and are not self powered. So, I hook up the sub into the jack for the front speakers. Now the speakers work, but the sub is being treated like a front speaker, not a sub. So, I'm not getting the quality I need out of it. My question is this: Either how can I hook up 2.1 speakers when the front speakers are not self powered, or where can I get powered front speakers and a sub with a jack for each? I am willing to buy non matching speakers if I have to buy a stand alone sub, and a pair of powered front speakers seprately. I don't want or have any reason to get 5.1 Thank you, Craig |

Now the speakers work, but the sub is being treated like a front speaker, not a sub. So, I'm not getting the quality I need out of it. Sounds like you have stereo speakers witha sub, which to me isn't 2.1 (not that there is a 2.1). 2.1 speakers would accept 3 channels, sounds like yours just have a 2 channel input, yeah? My guess is that it takes that stereo input and uses a crossover to seperate the sound going to the sub and speakers. My question is this: Either how can I hook up 2.1 speakers when the front speakers are not self powered, You could open up your sub and pull the wire out between the crossover and the sub and use that as the sub input (this will likely have impedence problems and you'll have to match the impedance). This would also rely on their being seperate amplifier circuits for the sub and speakers, and may also get messy depending on whether the crossover is active or passive. or where can I get powered front speakers and a sub with a jack for each? I am willing to buy non matching speakers if I have to buy a stand alone sub, and a pair of powered front speakers seprately. I don't want or have any reason to get 5.1 The shops? :-) Ben -- I'm not just a number. To many, I'm known as a String... |
