I have a Logitech X-210 2.1 PC speaker system. As the right & left speakers are quite small, I had an idea to replace them with a pair of Aiwa SX-10 bookshelf speakers from an old stereo system. The Aiwa speakers have 3.5mm jack plugs, so I bought the relevant 2-into-1 cable (stereo 3.5mm jack plug to mono 3.5mm jack sockets) and plugged it into the stereo output of subwoofer in the Logitech system. For some reason I can only get sound out of one speaker at a time.
If I manipulate the jack plug from either right or left speaker in its socket (i.e. the socket in the 2-into-1 cable) it will cause all of the audio to be output to one speaker, and cancel the output to the other speaker. Both speakers can output at full volume, but not at the same time.
The jack plug from the 2-in-1 cable has 2 black rings - exactly the same as the jack plug from the Logitech native L/R speakers (which still work fine).
Any idea why the replacement speakers will not support output on both channels at the same time?
