Help!!!

[Richo]

I don't know if I am in the right place to put my topic.

Anyhow........

I got Yamaha YHT150 Home theater in a Box. I hooked it up with my PC and it is not working properly. Sound is not coming loud. Looks like Only 2 spkrs work at a time and rest sounds so deem. Any help?

My sound card is creative regular ones 6 channel.

Richo,

What do the instructions say on your Creative sound card in regards to hooking up a home receiver? Logically, I would think the signal from your PC soundcard's rca out would be input to the Yamaha's aux. in, and then controlled by the Yamaha. Is that how the two units are hooked up? That could explain the two speaker problem. If the soundcard is putting out a digital signal, you may need a digital out from the pc to a digital in on the receiver (optical or coax). If you are still having sound issues with all 5 speakers, it could be your material is not true 5.1 sound. Did you try a 5.1 dolby digital dvd in your pc, and is your Creative sound card a 5.1 card? If all else fails, you can still run two channels out of the pc into the receiver and select a matrix dsp mode to give you matrixed 5.1 sound.

Is the one end of the Y-Cable plugged into the right jack on your soundcard. You should try and use two Y-Cables:

1 Y-Cable to rear in your DVD input and your rear in your soundcard
the other, the same but instead of rear, do front.


I dont know if this will work, but its worh a shot if you want surround from your receiver.
