Finding it hard to configure Logitech's S-220 2.1 Speakers.

Hey All.

Purchased a set of these to compliment my computer. As there were cheap and reviews on them were positive. However I'm finding it hard to configure them. In the past I've had speakers which you just plug in and hey pronto they work straight away.

Shame I can't say the same for these. I've inserted (insert rude joke here) the green wire into the green output on the back of the PC as well as the pink wire into the pink output on the back of the PC, those wires are plugged into the subwoofer. And the 2 small speakers have 1 black wire which I've plugged into the black output on the back of the computer.

Everytime I plug one of these wires in to the back RealTek HD Audio Manager will just confirm which one I've plugged in and I'll confirm it by clicking "Yes". The small speakers seem to work but with very minimal volume (yes the volume is turned up to the max). And the subwoofer doesn't appear to be doing anything!

Could someone help?

Cheers in advance.

Edit: Just reading the manual on the site atm. Didn't realise it had input for a mic, which is the pink cable. So you're right about green and pink cable going into the pc. But the black cable shouldn't be going to the pc.

The satellite speakers (the ones at the side) are passive speakers meaning they need to be amped, and in 2.1 speaker systems, the amp is in the subwoofer, so the satellite speakers should be connected to the subwoofer via the black cable.
