Im having a problem with my whole setup so lemme break it all down:
I have a turntable, vestax pmc 05 mixer, sp 404sx and Logitech Z 2300 speakers. In the past my setup was only lacking the 404 and I could play records fine hooking up the lineout rca cable with a 1/8 jack into the headphones input in the logitech z 2300 speakers.

My setup now however has the vestax mixer line out connecting into the sp404. The rca cable with 1/8 jack is used for the 404's line out into the speakers and yes there is no sound. Im perplexed.


edit: Ive tried some troubleshooting by removing the 404 from the setup. Turntable+mixer+speakers still = no sound.

edit 2: I realize however that even if i remove the mixer and turntable and use the 404's preset sounds the line out to speakers still produces no sound? So this is a speaker problem ;_;

edit 3: Connected the 1/8th jack into macbook pro's audio in port and then connected the logitech speakers to the macbook's audio out port and still nuttin

in edit 3, was there audio coming into the macbook, just using the laptop speakers?

yeah audio was going into the macbook but nothing came out.

Have you tried the headphone out on your mixer & 404 ? If sound is coming out both then it could be the amplifier inside the logitech is broken.

I cant try out the headphones since i dont have any with a 1/4 jack. I know the logitech speakers work since I can still use them as computer speakers. I guess I just cant use rca to 1/8th jack as a line out connection.

Did you press the ext source pad? This let's the sound play through the 404.

he said he was getting nothing with the preset sounds in the 404, so probably not the ext source button.

problem solved yall i just got me a 1/8 to 1/4th adapter, plugged my headphones in and heard wondrous beautiful sound. Line out to 1/4th computer speakers input is a definite no go.

Now you got the answer.
