I have a Sony CMT-EX100 bookshelf speaker system I purchased a little over a decade ago. The sounds is very crisp, but it lacks a bit of the low-end. I finally bit the bullet and purchased a powered subwoofer for the system. I've hooked it up and it sounds wonderful when I use the built-in CD player or the radio. However, when I switch the input on the system to auxillary input for my computer speakers, I get no sound from the subwoofer (though I do get sound from the regular speakers). What's even more puzzling is that if I hook up my iPod and try to play it through the system I get the same result.
I'm a bit puzzled why it works fine for my CD player and radio, but it doesn't work for sound I'm piping in from my computer. This is the way it's hooked up:
-I have a 3.5mm to RCA cable running from my computer to the stereo system, and I have a standard RCA cable running from the stereo system to the subwoofer.
In short, I get perfect sound with the subwoofer when I use CD or radio, but no sound from the subwoofer when i use AUX/input.
I've checked to see whether this is perhaps an issue with the EQ on my computer, and i've tried turning the bass way up, but that still has no effect.
Any ideas?
