Audio Problems
Let me start out letting you know that I am a first time user to this forum and have checked out the threads with similar problems that I am having-My apologies if you folks are a little tired of seeing this question.
My question has to do with my sound system that was purchased with my Dell desktop which is the Dell 5.1 surround system. The standard 4 speakers with jacks that connect to the rear of the sub woofer with idiot proof connections which I have figured out-like I said idiot proof.
From the sub woofer you have the standard 3 jack set-up.....black, yellow, green. My sound card has 6 slots for speaker jacks which I have connected in the proper color sequence-No sound!!
If I take my sound bar from my computer monitor and hook it up I have sound-also I took some older speakers from another Dell PC that I have which only has 1 jack and hooked them up-they work.
Do you think this is a bad sub woofer causing a problem and/or sound card problem? The fuse is not blown in the sub woofer- I have checked driver updates, reinstalled software, etc-I have also restored the system to an earlier date and sometimes they would work for awhile and the sound would go out after a couple of days.
Thank you to all who respond to this repeated question!!!!

- Thanks for your reply-How would you explain the fact that my 5.1 systems has no sound at all??
After checking out the back of the sub woofer it was manufactured by Samsung-I would assume but I probably should not that they also made the smaller speakers with Dell's name attched to them.
Again any input is appreciated and thanks for your reply!!
