Typically audio must orginate from a 5.1 or 7.1 source like a DVD or BluRay movie. You can also check setting in setup to se if your main speakers are set for normal or wide frequency range. Normal (small) setting directs more sound range to sub-woofer.

Typically music sound signal does not include subwoofer signal. You could try a movie with 5.1/7.1/7.2, then mostly the subwoofer will come out. If so, the receiver has no problem.

Eric...I actually returned this receiver and chose to go with the Sonos system. Sorry I am of no help. Good luck.

When you run the setup of what kind of speakers you configure it creates a profile of what you have which is what will be played from that point forward I have 7.2 setup and was only getting 5.2 until i changed it.

Double check your sub as it may be analog. I had to get a digital adapter for mine.

Did you plug in the thin wire in the sub and sound bar? You can also adjust the bass via the controller. If you have done this and it still produces no bass I would suggest returning it

Just make sure you are plugged into a sub out port on your receiver i.e. bypassing the amplifier. Also swap the cable with any old cable to see if you hear anything. If that doesn't work you may have a dud sub-out port or a dud sub. If you do, I would recommend getting a replacement because I have had this sub for 6 months and it is fantastic for the price. Good luck!

Probably time to upgrade your sub. Most receivers use a lfe port to connect your subthis unit doesn't offer high frequency connections for subs. Only to your speakers.

I agree with Peter. I don't have this receiver (yet), but I have the Acoustimass 7 series, and whenever I set up a component (BD player, DVD-Audio player, etc), I set it up as if I have large speakers, but NOT a subwoofer. I'm assuming that the Acoustimass 10 (like the 7) does NOT connect to the subwoofer connections on the back of the receiver. So if you're running this Audyssey test as if you have a subwoofer, it's trying to test something that's not there.

Does your amp have a dedicated RCA output jack for subwoofer? try this link: http://stereos.about.com/od/systemsetup/tp/Connecting-a-Subwoofer.htm

I also had an older Creature and I had a similar problem with the new one. I almost returned it before I finally got it to work. Everything seemed to be connected properly but there was no sound. The answer with mine was the connection of the power port on the subwoofer. It isn't as firm as it could be and because of that, it can be difficult to connect properly. And even after it it has been working, if the subwoofer is moved around a bit, the connection can be broken and the sound lost again. When you insert the plug into the port on the sub, try to wiggle it and see if that helps. If it doesn't, remove it, plug it in again and keep trying to move it around. Sooner or later, you should establish contact and get sound. At least, I did. Use of an electronic contact enhancer such as DeoxIt Gold G100L may be of help. This problem is due to a design flaw. If the connection was more solid, this should never occur. Unfortunately, it does. The speakers are so good that it's worth the effort to keep trying to establish a good connection. If you continue to get no results after a while, the problem may lie elsewhere and returning the speakers may be your only option. Please send in a review or comment to this reply and let us know if this has been of help.

First thing, hook your sub woofer up to an output on your receiver that you know has a working audio signal (like CD) so you can make sure it is actually working. A bass speaker carries a huge magnet so any bump to its frame can potentially blow it by shifting that magnet. If it does work, then hook another product that depends on an amplified line level signal to your receivers sub woofer output and make sure that is working. Chances are one of isn't.

Buy a receiver and hook up external speakers to the receiver. Only way you will get a decent sound out of this unit.I have a similar problem and after much debate, I am planning to buy Sherwood RX-41 9 105WAat model to augument this stereo system.Good Luck.

I hear mine great, I'd check your receiver settings to make sure the DB level is set properly across all channels (speakers)

There is not a "high level" output on the unit. There is a "high level" input for older receivers that do not have a dedicated subwoofer output on them.

The Subwoofer out has to be enabled look at the manual. Also there's a test function to see if the subwoofer is connected correctly.

Hi,That did happen to me once.I think I had the subwoofer plugged in wrong.Take off all the wires and plug them all back in.Good luck!

You need a powered subwoofer. There is a pre-out (low power signal) on the receiver that connects via an RCA cable to the input of your powered sub. You can confirm this on the images on the Amazon listing.

Mine is not comming from the sub. I've disconnected the sub and all the speakers 1 at a time and still have it. I did go into the Direct TV set-up and changed some audio settings and it is now at a lower voluume, but is still there. I thought maybe it was the Direct TV Receiver, but I disconnected it & still get have the hum running the receiver on fm stations.Thanks for the inputP.S. I have the Onkyo TX-SR705, not the 805.
