Bose Companion 3 - Is getting power but no sound

I just replaced my old Harmon/kardon speakers with some new Bose Companions 3s. And needless to say they produce no sound. I have a more than adequate sound card with my Sound Blaster X-Fi Fata1ity, so Im quite puzzled as to why I can't get these to work. The sound controller lights up so I know it's getting power. And I've tried a lot of things to no avail. My know-how is exhausted, can anyone help me out?

I have a bose v20 and a harmon kardon receiver. Should I be returning the bose system, buy just the speakers, and and outside subwoofer, or what is the best system for watching movies etc? What would be...

If you have the harmon kardon receiver, check out this reasonably priced system. You can actually find it cheaper than at this website but I have these speakers and, when paired with the Klipsch sub-woofer, it makes movie watching an unbelievable experience.

Does the Bose companion 3 have an internal fuse?

Yes. The companion 3 system can be repaired for $75. Call Bose at 800-367-4008. They will also give you a new 1 year warranty.

Bose Companion 3. Speakers are very faint in sound. The touch pad seem inoperable. (the green light on pad does not come on.)

Check first that you have connected the speaker to the right output. For example on many computer there is an aux output marked in blue that can give you this problem.

If the problem does not depend from the source, then that sounds like an internal fault on your Bose system.

Leave the Bose unplugged from power and from computer for one hour, to get rid of electrostatic charges accumulated inside capacitors.
If that does not get rid of the problem, then there is an internal fault, either a short on speaker wiring, or a fault on the internal amp circuit board.

Left speaker sometines has no sound? Please help

I bought a set of Bose companion 3 speakers and the darn RCA jacks are cheap and wiggling loose. The cost to send back and repair out of warranty is about $125!! BOSE companion speakers may sound good, but for my money, I'd rather go with more reliable computer speaker systems like Creative or Logitech. BOSE IS WAY TO OVER-RATED, but HEY....they suckered ME out of $275!!!
