My Bose 525II won't connect to my PC via the Front HDMI port. It says its starting up or the power may be off. Can anyone help with this?

I had to seperate the functions out and send the HDMI directly to the TV and the SPDIF (optical out) to the back of the BOSE receiver. I did buy a nice sound card because of the investment of the BOSE to make it nicer.

Make sure that your PC/MAC is sharing its video. For Windows computers, you may need to press [WINDOWS]+P then make sure you select "Duplicate" or "Extend". Not all computers output video automatically.

I'm also having problems with the sub. It worked initially but now it doesn't. Nothing comes out. I've tried a different cable and different sub so I know its the receiver. Did you ever figure out what was wrong with yours?

There shouldn't be any trouble connecting to the display through HDMI. Make sure all the settings on your computer are correct and the display mode is set to HDMI. If all else fails, you may have a faulty unit.

I've had my Bose SoundLink for about 3 years and I've not had that issue. I don't think it is the speaker. It should be plug and play without having to install a driver. Remember it is a speaker system and plays the same sound that would be coming from you computer. It is more likely the the application you are using to play your music on your computer. Does the music play normally when the Bose sound system isn't connected to computer? You should call Microsoft or Apple Tech Support. Good Luck.

This is to connect the base unit to the speakers. You still need to connect base unit to the the receiver using the the Bose DB style connector (I have an older Bose system). What I was able to find was and old MAC video DB cable (M-F) that connected to the Bose cable then ran that out of the wall to the base unit. However, when connecting to the receiver the L-R channels are switched so adjust the connections accordingly. So now I have 2 small cables coming out of the wall going to the base unit. Very clean.

Just looked at a picture of the back of the soundboard..Shouldn't be a problem connecting it. This link shows how.http://youtu.be/EgJjlxuEUmc

Yes. I currently have mine hooked to my LG flat screen. You should have an 3.5mm audio jack, simply plug it in. If you have everything in and the volume up on both the tv and the Bose system and nothing comes through, simply go into the TVs audio setup and adjust for an outside system. Hopefully this helps you out my friend.

The only place I know is from Bose directly. www.bose.com Ask for tech support. If you give them a good line and/or just bought the system then they will probably send you one gratis. Good luck.

I was confused about this as well but it turned out to be pretty straightforward. Basically keep the 2 close to each other and make sure the Bose soundlink is in the pairing mode by holding the bluetooth button. You do not need to put in any code or anything it just pairs! Also it is important that your input is active, I was trying once with the input not connected to any music and it didn't work.

Are you sure this is the signal flow HDMI to RCA in my case it was RCA to HDMI signal Flow the opposite way because a bose system has a rca plug then you need a RCA to HDMI signal into the TV

I dont know either way. Reach out to Bose customer support, they'll point you in the right direction.

Looks like there is an optical port on the back. Do a Google search with the terms 'bose 321 go back panel' and you can see for yourself.

Hi Eddie. I use a Western Digital Live TV and a Set Top Box. Both connect via HDMI, and both sources have their audio duplicated and sent through the analogue headphone/speaker port. I connect PC speakers to that port and it works great. Greg

This is not normal. I believe the hissing sound in your system originates from a cross talk of the audio in cable (that connects between your Bose unit to your PC) or your power source. Try the following : Re-route the audio cable (avoid running the cable parallel to a power line) which is the easiest, or try using a power converter/stabilizer. Before you invest in a power stabilizer, unplug the audio input from your PC and crank up the volume gradually. If there is no noise, then your power line is "clean". If you plug in the audio cable back to the PC and the hissing sound re-appear, the source could be the PC or the audio cable cross talk, or the poor earthing of the chassis of your PC.

J. Jones, Sorry I didn't reply to this eariler.... but did you BUILD the computer yourself? If so did you attach the proper cable from the sound card to the video card to get the sound TO the video card? And if you did, DID you connect it properly? If you didn't build it yourself, did you crack open the case to see if the manufacturer installed thecable and did it properly, AND that it did not come loose in shipping? It's an internal cable, check your manuals. And check the cable itself if all else fails. It may be you've got a bad one.

you sure you don't have the cable in the audio pc/hmdi input (this connection is in "input 5" box, just above and to the right of the digital audio output; i believe this is the same connection type...) judging by the lack of picture instead of audio, that is my best guess anyway. someone correct me if i'm wrong (my tv is hanging and i cannot really see the connections), but i do not believe this device has a standard audio output (besides the headphone out)...
