While trying to hook up a sub to my current 2.0 setup using the center/sub output of my sound card, I realized that something is wrong. When I ran the 5.1 sound test on Windows 10, the sub barely vibrated when the signal was sent to it. Nonetheless it did receive signal since it vibrated, but that was nowhere near the expected level of sound output from the sub since the volume on it was almost maxed. Is there some sort of a setting to change that? My sound card is labeled as "SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio" and is the onboard soundcard with my Rampage || mobo. In case you are wondering, the sub is from my broken Logitech X-540 5.1 audio system and also hosts the built-in amp and all speaker connections for the system(but I want to only use the 3.5mm center/sub input on the sub). When I only connect the "front" speaker line to the sub from my sound card, the sub plays fine. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks
