We have hooked up our Bose system to our receiver and the sound is only coming out two of the speakers and the sub. The other three are getting no volume. Sound is hooked up through an optical cable. Receiver is Yamaha
Audio Players & Recorders - Bose - Acoustimass 15 System

Hi,
- Check all the connections from Acoustimass module and the module to the cube speaker. Check to be sure all speakers are connected to the proper terminals.
- Check if there is any control which balance the volume of speakers.
- Set your receiver to Stereo mode.
Thanks for using Fixya.Good luck and have a nice day.
Hi,
Arrange the speakers in the room with the front left and right speakers flanking the television. The center channel speaker produces most of the dialog in movies and TV shows, so it should be placed above or below the TV. The two rear speakers can be mounted on stands or placed on bookshelves behind the main seating area. Place the subwoofer wherever it won't get in the way, but at least 4 inches from the wall so the sound will be directed into the room instead of absorbed by the wall.
Cut five lengths of speaker wire long enough to connect from the five speakers to the receiver. Strip 1/2 inch of insulation from both ends of each wire.
Connect the wires to the back of each speaker and the labeled terminals for that speaker on the back of the receiver. For example, start with the left front speaker connection to the terminals labeled "LF" on the back of the receiver. The wires connect by lifting the spring clips on the back of the speakers and receiver to reveal holes underneath. Match the red wire to the positive (red) terminal and the other wire to the negative (black) terminal.
Insert the plug on one end of the subwoofer cable into the IN jack on the back of the sub and connect the plug on the other end to the SUB OUT jack on the back of the receiver.
Connect the yellow, white and red composite cables from the color-coded AV OUT jacks on the back of a cable TV box to the Video 1 jacks on the 5.1 receiver, or any free set of video IN jacks available on the receiver.
Hook up other AV components, such as a DVD player, using the same color codes. Match the cables to the labeled jacks on the 5.1 receiver; for example, the cables from the DVD player should be connected to the receiver jacks labeled "DVD."
Plug a video cable from the video OUT jack on the back of the 5.1 receiver to the video IN jack on the back of the TV.
Plug the electrical cords for all components into a surge protector power strip, then connect the power strip to a wall outlet.
Let us know if you want something more else please accept the suggestion.

All speakers have cords, that came with the Boss Surround System. Are you suggesting that the cords that came with the surround system which are all hooked up need to be replaced? That seems unlikely.
Yesterday when the speakers were hooked into our receiver via hdmi rather than an optical cable they all worked. Today they aren't all working. So I think this solution seems more work than it ought to be?
