Why do I get no sound from my center speakers?
No sound from the center or surround speakers. If you are not able to get any surround sound effects when playing audio, there may be a problem with your hookup or there may be an incorrect setting. Follow these steps to try to resolve this issue.
Why is there no sound from the center channel?
There is no audio from center speaker when the system is not in stereo mode. If the system can’t use both terminals A and B at the same time, what use will terminal B have? I hooked up the two main front speakers to terminal A, and one of the three back speakers (6.1 System) to speaker B terminal.
Why is there no sound coming from my computer?
Check your audio devices’ connections. Having a speaker or headphones partially plugged into your computer will often result in no audio output. Also make sure that the audio device(s) in question is/are plugged into the correct port(s).
What to do when your surround sound is not working?
If you still have the same problem after changing the sound mode, make sure the speakers are securely and properly connected to the A/V stereo receiver. If your A/V receiver has an Auto Calibration function, try using it to setup the appropriate sound settings.

Why does the center speaker work but not the bass?
Its odd that the bass works but the center speaker does nothing since they are on the same audio jack. Any suggestions on the problem/possible solutions? Surround sound only works if the music or movie was actually recorded in 5.1 surround sound. If not then, the other speakers won’t have sound coming out from them.
How to troubleshoot if there is no sound or…?
Check that there are no headphones connected. Check if the issue also occurs to other device connected to the TV. You may try to changing the TV channel or play back a movie on a DVD player. Try different cables to verify this is not a bad set of cables.
