i wonder why sonic gear doing it like this.

and why would it need 4 x RCA for a 2.1. ehmmm

anyway, Kelvin, since unusual is using Evo 3 as well, he can guide u too nicely


i pressume it to be like this for the 4 x RCA


PC gren stereo jack <--------------------> Left RCA <------------> Left Speaker?
|-------> Right RCA <------------> Left Speaker?

the other RCAs

RCA one <------------------> Sub ?
RCA two <------------------> Right Speaker?

Mine is Ego 3

he is using "EGO" not "EVO"...
tat 4 RCA is actually is a WOOFER...
tat left speaker and right speaker is using white and red to connect to the woofer...

ok this make sense now.
if this is the case, u can throw away ur green colored cable.


u should have 4 port on your woofer now, they are not in the correct order, u need to sort them out. very simple niah

Outputs: Left Speaker (White), Right Speaker (Red)
these are the one connects you left & right speaker, dont change them, they are correctly installed.

************************

Inputs: Left Input (White), Right Input (Red)
these are where the speaker get signals for playback. Use you Xbox Red/White cable to conenct this, then have fun. No need extra cable

unusual, if u connect with that, u are listening to 2 x monaural sound lah

wah..i'm so confuse la...
better use 360 on sdtv la...
no need headache...

Relaks ler, how good can a 2.1 speaker sounds? for me its the same

no they aint the same, 2 x monorual will nv act the same compare to a true stereo.

try imagine, a car pass by from right to left of ur screen. stereo sound can be shaped like moving from right to left but not 2x mono.

Hmm... really? Gonna plug it into my soundcard's audio input and output then.

hey maniac...
y dun u show off urs to us?

i am not on proper audio mode yet now

now i just bypass my stereo sound to my soundcard and upmix them to 5.1

since i got some time to snap photo and do some photoshop, here's how my 360 is wired to my Altec Lansing VS4121 (2.1). the 360 sound goes thru my soundcard line in, this way i dont have to switch around cables and i get to listen to both pc and 360 sound at once (so i can hear those nudges and buzzes in msn/ym ). one downside is there will be no sound if PC is off since the sound is mixed via the soundcard.


i dunno what to call this, lets just call it the "RCA to Stereo cable". One side female stereo jack, other side 2x female RCA. I got this with my VS4121 speakers, i guess most Altec Lansing speakers should something like this bundled in.


This is the usual male-to-male stereo cable, can buy this from any electrical/av shop.


Plug the male RCAs from VGA cable to the female RCAs. If you don't want to plug into soundcard line-in, Plug your speaker green cable to the green female jack, forget the stereo cable.


The other end of the male-to-male stereo cable goes here, soundcard line-in (blue colour, my soundcard colour blind ). check the volume levels in your souncard control panels, sometimes line-in is muted by default. You can also use mic-in (red/pink colour) if your soundcard doesnt have line-in.

hmmm... note to self: pc and floor is dirty, clean your house damn it!

Can we just bypass the PC soundcard and just straight away connect it to our speaker?

yes, that's what I did.
