This has been a problem with the console since it was released... it only outputs through the left and right channels so when you have it setup for 5.1 surround sound it doesn't bother to mix the sub woofer channel for you (because your audio is only mixed for left and right)

I spliced one of the Front channel RCA output into the sub to play music, now my music has Bass, since the sub is getting signal from the Front channel output from the 360

Some followup questions:

- I still lose the bass while playing my music during gameplay (as opposed to straight music playback).  So the digital (game) signal is reaching the sub, while the music is only stereo.  This is expected, right?
- If I follow your instructions, will I be able to get bass in my music during gameplay, or only when I switch my receiver over to stereo mode?
- my sub has only a single RCA input (as compared to regular speaker cable w/ the two wires).  How do I run an extra line into it? (I'm pretty inexperiences w/ things audio)
- If I'm playing MP3's, isn't it split into R + L?  If so, won't my sub only get half of the bass?

Thanks for your help... I hope this shows up considering how old this thread is.

You can also just switch to stereo mode in the system settings panel, that'll bring the bass back. Thats what I do, then change the setting to 5.1 again when I wanna watch a movie or play a game.
