No sound from Pc or Tv using a Dac
I have bought new speakers and ordered many cables and a Dac.This is my first Dac and it's a cheap one.
It's not a usb Dac.I connected an optical cable to Pc and connected the other end of the cable to the Dac's optical input.Then connected two 1input 1output rca cables to the left and right outputs of the Dac.And then connected the other ends of the rca cables to Y splitters and then connected the splitters to the the speakers. I also connected the power adapter of the Dac to electric plug.
The Dac turns on because I see a red light on it.There is no button on the Dac.The problem is, I hear no sound coming from speakers.I tried with another set of rca cables too, still no sound.I tried connecting the optical cable to the Tv instead of Pc, still no sound.
I tried using two 1x rca to 1x Xlr cables instead of rca cables, still no sound.Seems like the Dac is corrupt, is there any possibility?Maybe there is something which I should change on Windows 11?Actually I had bought this Dac to use with Tv,
My other problem is, I wanted to use 1x3.5mm to 2xlr stereo cable.This cable is new too.I connected 3.5mm plug to the Pc, connected one of Xlr ends to the speaker on the left and the other Xlr end to the speaker on the right. The sound comes from only one speaker. I played with some Windows 11 settings, also became sure that "mono" setting was closed, no change.Then I replaced the Xlr ends, then the sound starts coming from the other speaker which was not working and the previously working speaker stopped producing sound.It seems obvious that the cable is corrupt but is there another possibility?If not, I will send the cable back to the dealer.
I tried using a 3.5mm to 2x rca cable + 2 Y splitters to connect speakers to Pc and it worked, so the speakers are working.But I need to make Dac running for connecting the speakers to the Tv.
