Thread: PC audio for dummies

You have two sets of cable, so left and right?
The bare copper is usually ground, and assuming you are running a left and right you would just pick one of the white ones per speaker.
I think thats what ya trying to do.......?

The bare common wire will have to split so it can be fed to each speaker along with one white each. then you can trace which is left and right and swap over the whites if they're back to front.

But if he has the two cables, why split the common?

Ok,, so thats works only--
no volume out of speakers,,
with the Realtek Audio manager at 100% I can hear music VERY softly,,,,

This PC was set up to run a 5-1 surround sound.
I am cannibalizing parts to set it up as a plain stereo in the caravan.
Its like its missing an amplifier,,

which it is I suppose

Sounds stoopid I know, but have you gone into settings/configuration of Realtek and told it just to play in stereo, not 5.1?

yea,
must be more volume in there somewhere--

- Pic of the connections/motherboard would be very helpful, if only to clarify whether you've got a stereo amplifier on the motherboard...

...or not.

Checked the Master Volume of the PC itself??
