Hey guys,

I'm having a problem with the subwoofer on my htib. I have an optical cable going from a macbook into the amp.

it's plugged into optical1 and I have the receiver set to DVDptical1, the sound is coming through but the subwoofer doesn't work. It's plugged in properly and turned on.

In the settings it is also turned on in all the places I looked. I have it set to stereo and also tried it on pliix and neo:6 and everything in between. I can't get the bass back on but I have noticed it says digital as well as lpcm.

I know the sub works becaus when I go through the speakers and turn on test tone, I can scroll through to my sub and it's functions fine.

Anyone know what's going on?
Thanks

So basically it lacks of LFE , did you check the settings on your Mac ???

I couldn't find anything on the mac that could change anything.

In the system preferences under sounds it only shows this in the output tab:
The selected device has no output controls.

I'm not sure what LFE is tho.

Okay. So now I know what LFE is. How do I turn it back on.

The mac worked with the sub at one point. I just recently moved so I had to re hook up my whole system. It hasn''t worked since as far as I know.

Still no bass. i've tried different macbooks, and no bass. it works when i do a speaker test but none of the inputs produce bass.
