Hi I recently bought a NAD 3050C and when I use optical channel I only get sound out of the active bass speaker and not my passive speakers.

When I use my turntable with an external pre amp connected to the main in, only the passive speakers work (I can’t control the volume output) but not the active bass speaker. But when I connect the pre amp to the line in only the active speaker works.

I'm currently running a Rega P2 into a Darlington Labs pre amp then into the main in of the NAD.

In also running a WiiM Pro into the Optical In.

I'm running an SVS Bass Speaker into the sub in.

I'm running BW 601 S3's into the amp.

Everything worked perfectly fine when I had it connected to my Yamaha 301 amplifier. I didn't change anything moving the system over to the NAD.

The headphone in works fine, I get sound out of my headphones.

Thank you

What am I doing wrong that I can't get both speakers to work???

Welcome to ASR!

You seem to be missing the Pre-Out to Main-In jumpers.
