Hi all,
I just inherited a set of Logitech Z-560 4.1 speakers. I'm using the onboard
sound on my A7N8X Deluxe. There is a connector with the speakers that has a
green jack and a black jack combined. I'm not sure where to plug them in.
Any advice would be appeciated.
Thanks
Gary
The audio stack on the back of your computer should be in
this order. You would want to select a four channel config
with any audio control panel that came with the product, to
get the required signals on the Green (front) and Light Blue
(rear) jacks.
Light Blue - Rear (otherwise known as line_in)
Green (lime) - Front (otherwise known as line_out)
Pink - Center/sub (or microphone, when used as an input)
If you go to
www.logitech.com, select a country like USA, select
Support then Product Support, enter 264 in the search box, select
search by Answer ID, you'll get this picture:

Z-560 Green is Front and goes to Green on A7N8X
Z-560 Black is Rear and goes to Light Blue on A7N8X
I assume from this, that the Sub signal is derived by low pass
filtering the other signals ? The Logitech page doesn't mention
how the sub gets its signal, and I don't know if there is a
user manual available to download or not. At least I cannot find
it.
To start, put the Z-560 in as vanilla a mode as possible. There
might be something called M3D, and I'd start with that disabled.
