Hi all! I have Boston Acoustics BA735 speakers from my old gateway (from the earlier part of the decade). After doing some research I found that these were digital speakers and require a digital out. So I tried setting it up like I used to on my old rig, and no sound. However, if I pull the cable half way out of the SPDIF out and position it just right I will get sound. Is it possible the cable I am using is the wrong size for this SPDIF out?
When I used it on my '00 gateway it was with a soundblaster which I am pretty sure did not have a digital out, it just used a regular connection and had drivers that supplied a digital signal.
What I am getting at is I think the SPDIF jack is a different size from the jack on my soundblaster card from '00 which is why the cable only works if I pull it half out. Any thoughts?
