OK, here is my problem. Was given a pair of boston digital ba735 2.1 speaker setup made by boston acoustics for my desktop. Should be an improvement over the ultra crappy speakers I had before. But I cannot get them to work. I use a m-audio transit as my soundcard and it has a optical out. So I ran opti out through c02 into speakers. No luck. I research. Seems peeps have had this problem with win xp. Also read that these speakers were designed(I could possible be wrong, just what I read)for gateway as an speaker upgrade and were used with the soundblaster live! soundcard that came with it. Well, I have a soundblaster live! card laying around so I put it in. Computer recognized it, I updated the drivers, rebooted, and still cannot get these speakers to work(the standard plugs Two RCS speaker cables, one 9-pin mini-din digital control cable, one 1/8-inch mono to RCA digital cable all seem to be fine). My computer is not a Gateway. Will this pose a problem since these were supposedly designed for Gateway's? So, can anyone shed some light on this?
