    Have you figured it out?

    The pictures were not helpful. I am assuming you are using the head phone jack on the TV. Do head phones work in that jack?

    No picture would be helpful. Did you check to see if head phones or ear buds work OK?

    I see no head phones picture. I only see a jack and speakers. I don't want to see it but it bothers me when what you say doesn't add up. If you don't know the difference between speakers and head phones maybe your problem in you are doing something wrong that is so simple I wouldn't think to ask.

    Why do you use a Y splitter? Something sounds wrong. Does the TV have a phone jack or only an RCA. If so, are you using the proper jacks.

    The woofer is mono so any stereo screw up will not effect the woofer. I bet you are not using the proper jacks. Are the jacks on the TV red, white and yellow?

    The video does not have the sub.The tv has no amp.In my estimation you cannot run all of them,there's isn't enough amperage coming from the tv.Its why i said get an amp as the sub is sucking it all just to drive that one speaker.Subs are usually a higher impedance (resistance) in the realm of 8 ohm-16 ohm.Your satellite speakers most probably 4 ohm.I'm pretty sure this is where the issue lies as your tv is 4 ohm output,the sub will sound muffled (very little volume available) even without the satellites connected

    chances are the tv output is only 10-15 watts if that.that is pretty weak.The satellite speakers without the sub run ok yes ? then adding the sub & no sound but through the sub tells you what

    Yes in my estimation.
    Did you try asking on the logitech forum & did they suggest an amp like what was mentioned in the screenshot in previous thread.It does seem to be a power issue i.e not enough amps,tho i don't know why it worked on previous tv,unless it had a decent small in built amp of some sort

    Speakers require a great deal more power than ear buds or ear phones.

    You typically plug a jumper from the head phones into the aux port. The Aux port is designed to handle that level of power.

    It is a wire with connectors on each end. The connectors need to fit the aux and the RCA jumper. I still think you need another RCA jumper. They are usually one per channel. Most TVs have 3 output RCA ports. You need to one that has 2 RCA plugs on one side and a head phone jack (male) on the other which will fit the Aux port like the one shown in the video. Your picture shows the wrong jumper. I guess the pictures were useful after all.
