HiFi system connected to Dell i9100

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I have a Sharp MD-X10 bookshelf stereo system that is about 3 years old now. It has a simple RCA (red and white plugs) aux port at the back to connect auxiliary devices.
[http://www.t-station.net/products/sharp_mdx10.html ]

I bought a cable like the one below and plugged the 2 RCA jacks into the back of my Sharp stereo and the other end into my Dell i9100's headphone socket and was able to get sound through only one of my hifi speakers. I played around with the speaker settings in control panel as well as sound settings but to no avail. Does anyone know how I can get sound through both my speakers?

Hope this makes sense!

Well I cant see the images to well myself but not really important. COuple of quesitons, one are you getting both channels out of the laptop? Check this by plugging in a pair of headphones and seeing if you hear both earpieces at the same time.

2 Are you getting both channels going into your speaker system from your cable. If you system doesnt have an input meter, which I doubt it does, you can check this by plugging in the plugs one at a time and seeing if both work by themselves. This means if you were getting audio out of your right speaker before, unplug the plug from your computer and swap it so that red is going into white and white into red and see if you are still getting sound out of the same speaker. If you are that means your cable is most likely good, if the sound is coming from the other speaker your cable is most likely bad.

3. If you determine your cable is good through the above test, this is where it may get tricky. Check with the radio or whatever built into that system to make sure both speakers are in fact working. If they are both working then your problem is internally in your system and most likely located somewhere near the input jacks(Most likely the connection is broken to one of them) and would require taking apart your system to diagnose and resolder as needed. Unfortunatly that is not really something that can be guided through on the boards so you are better off at that point just going with replacing it or taking it to someone to fix it.
