| Just bought a lexicon u22 interface. And i'm trying to use my 4.1 powered computer speakers with it, until I buy some active monitors. when I plug them into the balanced output of the interface, I can't hear the bass coming out the sub. When i use the headphone socket it works fine. Is the interface faulty or do I need active monitors? |

When you say the headphone socket works, do you mean it works using headphones OR it works when connected to your 4.1 speakers?
Afaik typical computer speakers are active! i used to have a pair of cheap logitech ones & i'm sure you didn't need to connect them to an amp:conf:
Does your sub have any crossover controls?
The headphone output should give you a signal reasonably close to the standard line level output from the main speaker outs, so theoretically there shouldn't be a difference...have you any way to test it with another speaker setup? |
When I plug in the 4.1 speakers in the headphone socket it works fine. My sub doesn't have any crossover controls, just a volume control. When I use the balanced outputs on the interface, there is only a slight bass coming from the sub. I'll see if I can get some monitors next week and give it a try. |
