Cannot get the computer to recognize the system

Everything is plugged in correctly but the computer will not recognize the speaker system. There was no installation disk in the box the system came in and there does not appear to be a downloadable installation from the bose site.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Appreciate the direct "Ask Me".

Initially, the 14 seconds interval is significant. This is indicative that whatever fault it is, it is coupled to a time-based circuitry. The time-based circuitry need not be complicated. it can actually be a simple resistor/capacitor network. The capacitor takes a certain amount of time to charge and then discharge (14 seconds, 'whoomp'). Having said this, then the foremost suspect would be an electrolytic capacitor, probably low value (1~4.7uF), probably a coupler/decoupler. Of course the capacitor serving other functions could very well be the culprit as well.

Corrective measure would entail, identifying/determining which capacitor and replacement. Tedious as it may sound, each capacitor would then have to be tested for capacitance and leakage out of circuit or at least 1 leg un-soldered.

Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.

Pls be informed that due to my current rank and rating, even a Helpful would be detrimental to my status. Should this solution not address your concern, it would be appreciated if you could just not rate it at all. Cheers.

SOURCE: Computer speakers play CDs or iTuners, but no system sounds

The integrated sound of your MB has konked out. Thus it plays CD/DVD since its output must be connected directly to that port. Best will be to get a sound card(compatible with your OS) and insert it on any PCI slot and take all sound output from the sockets provided on the sound card...............sodeep

SOURCE: Problem hooking up bose speakers

mcdevito75 here, The HP speakers that came with your computer work fine, the bose speakers work fine on your other computer, the plug on the Bose speakers is a little shorter than the HP speakers, and only the right Boss speaker is working, HMM, Check the Bose speakers, both of them for a volume control 1 of them may need adjustment on this particular computer. If that"s not it, I would speak to a Radio Shack, Staples etc.

My computer does not regonize any audio devices

From a distance, it sounds like you do not have the sound card drivers installed. Since it is a SoundBlaster card, go to creative.com and download a utility that finds, indentifies, and then installs the drivers for your sound card. That should fix the problem. If not, then you have other issues going on with motherboard drivers not being installed installed.

I have boston ba745 speakers with woofer. The speaker wire coming out of the back of the woofer goes into computer and it's a wire with 2 plugs, a pink one and a green one. It doesn't appear to make any...

The green plug is the main audio plug for the unit. It plugs into the green jack{output} on the computer. The pink one plugs into the pink jack on the computer if there is one. Google the manual for the speakers and you might find oyut what the use of the pink one is

Speakers

Most speakers are 'Dumb' devices that means there isn't any information exchange between them and your PC. Other than your PC providing the source sound for your speakers to play.
Some sound cards can detect that speakers or a microphone are plugged in but not what type.

Possibly your sound card on your PC is not working or you have the speakers plugged into the wrong sockets.
