Hello,
I m new to this forum so excuse me is there is a link similar someplace else.
my computer is connected to my samsung tv and there is a yamaha rx-v375 receiver in between the computer and the tv..now when i play a video/music/games off my ps3 which is connected to the same setup, it works great. so i can be safe to assume this rules out that the speakers may not be working.

now when i go to my windows configure my speakers. there are only stereo, quadrophonic, 5.1 and 7.1. it is awkward that there is no 2.1 so i went to 5.1 and unchecked the rear speakers and the center channel.

when i test my setup from the same configure my speakers window..it dings the stereo speakers but does nothing when its time for the sub to ding.

I ve tried everything that i can do..obviously im not a technologically sound person so any input would be great.

my sound card and video card are built into this.
MSI FM2-A85XA-G65 includes sound and video card.

please help..

connect your yamaha directly to the audio out of the TV and not in between. both your ps3 and pc should send audio and video to the input (ie hdmi, rca cable) of the tv and the tv will send audio to the yamaha via audio out connector.
