Having problems with your Harman Kardon Computer Speakers ?
I own the original Harmon Kardon Soundsticks, and haven't used them in quite a while. I believe I have plugged everything in (the light is on in the Subwoofer), but when I plug in the Auxilary cable into my Macbook Pro's Headphone jack, there is no sound at all. When I go to sound preferences, it reads the plug as Headphones (which I think is correct), and I made sure the volume is up on the speakers. What can I do?
