I have creature 2 JBL speakers that I hooked up to a Samsung smart tv that I got from Costco but no sound comes out. I hooked the JBLs to the audio out direct to tv, double checked that the TVs audio setting is to external speakers, and checked to make sure the JBLs cord "shapes" match. When I turn the tv on I get feed back from the subwoofer that it is on but no sound comes out, what am I missing?
Do you happen to have the model of the TV? My Samsung only has two digital optical outputs. If your'e plugging in JBLs, you may only have an analogue input which won't work.

I looked and the only thing I could come up with is to e-mail JBL and order a new one. Radio shack, Best Buy, or Futurehsop might be able to help but you have to call them with the model number or go to the store and check it out. Here's the link to JBL if you want to order a new one.

Sorry, wish I had a better answer but there isn't much out there for this.

make sure the triangles on the plugs are lined up when you push in the plugs!

I fixed a similar problem I was having. It requires a little work.
Take out the four screws from under the broken speaker. Carefully remove the cover, separating the speaker from the base. The two are wired together so don't pull them apart with force. Then remove the single screw, which is much larger the the previous four, and separate the speaker from the top cover.
If you chose you can remove the wires from the speaker, they just snap on, but its not required.
What I found is the speaker issue is not with the wire or the power, but the speaker it's self. On the back there is a big round metal piece. On my speaker that piece was pushed towards the front of the speaker. When I looked at the good speaker, that big piece was all the way back. So I simply pulled it back and presto, instant fix!
I hope this works for you.

Hiya
Too late to resolve the original poster's worries, I can assume, but I arrived here when searching on account of the same problem and resolved it. This is going to sound implausibly condescending, I'm afraid (and excuse th elack of technical terminology!)...
I couldn't get my left speaker to work exactly as above, but then looked carefully at the shape of the respective cables leading to the sub. You have to fit the triangle shape of the lead into the triangular shape of the hole. The speaker CAN be connected what *feels* like correctly, but is in fact connected incorrectly (ie, not all the way in).
This is more a problem with the left speaker than the right since it's a triangle and the right is a square, and can be a little fiddly.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem should probably take a quick moment just to check this isn't it! :)
