I connected my home stereo to my PC via a cinch/3,5mm cable and it doesn't produce as much loudness as if I would just play a cd on the home stereo alone withaut conecting it to the PC. Plus when I turn the loudness knob on my home stereo it doesn't effect the loudness of the thing im playing on my PC. Another weird thing is that i can have the home stereo turned off(but still pluged in the electricity socket) and connected to the PC and i still get the quiet sound from the speakers as if the box where you put the cd in (Not an american so i dont know how you call that) is not amping the speakers. Please help, thank you
